I'm moving a discussion that started on the forum to the mailing list. If you're interested in the whole story, see: http://ilohamail.org/forum/view_thread.php?topic_id=5&id=1066 >Does it seem to be a much work? No, it should be relatively straight forward. The way I see it, there are two ways to implement this feature: 1) Simply add another text field to the compose window 2) Allow users to enter multiple name-email pairs (or "identities") and display them in a drop down menu. Personally, I prefer the second option. If we're going to do it, we might as well do it right. The second option could be a little more involved since I would want it to support both the file-based backend as well as any database backend (see how preferences and contacts are handled). Right now, the whole back-end code is kind of convoluted, but I'm thinking simplifying the whole process at some point as well. The only other requirement I have is that it should be admin configurable. The admin should have the options of: 1) Not allow users to specify multiple identities 2) Allow for Reply-To field only 3) Allow for From field This will kind of be an extension of the $TRUST_USER_ADDRESS directive. I might work on it sometime, but I thought I'd throw out my specs in case someone else wanted to give it a shot. Ryo |
