The version of OJS that you’re using is no longer supported by PKP. I recommend that you upgrade to the newest version of OJS, as it is possible that your issue will be resolved by upgrading. However, other community members may wish to offer assistance.
The current release of OJS (3.3.0) has the same support for a single envelope sender field that you see in 3.1.2. I couldn’t find any other requests for per-journal settings for this, but you could file this as a feature request in the Feature Requests area of the forum. Note that we’re rewriting email support quite considerably for the 3.4.0 release, due in the first half of next year, so things may improve from there.

I’ve just filed it as a feature request.
We planned to upgrade ver 3.1.2 to ver 3.3. by the end of the year. Do you think it would be worth waiting for the release of 3.4? We always have a headache when upgrading.
I’d recommend upgrading to 3.3. It’s an LTS release (“Long-Term Support”), meaning it’ll serve you well for a few years, and at the end of its lifecycle there will be another LTS release to upgrade to. Unless you need something that’s introduced in a non-LTS release and have the IT resources to upgrade more frequently, LTS is the way to go.
(We have invested a lot of effort recently into upgrades; once you get to the 3.3 release, it’ll be a lot easier to upgrade after that, and you’ll be able to decide whether to upgrade to 3.4 without as much to worry about.)
