Brilliant !
It was line 269 for me (return mail($to,$subject,$msg,$header); /*
remove the from part */  instead of return
mail($to,$subject,$msg,$header,'-f "'.$from.'"');), and now i can
receive email notifications !

I'm going to ask my compagny to make a donation to your project,
continue this great job !
