So on my wiki I don't normally read the email notifications that I get but I wanted an easy way to track the update rate of the site and all of that. So I have my email notifications go to an alias on my domain that I split out into a separate folder in my mail client. But I decided just that wasn't good enough since I wanted to know who was doing the updates without having to open the emails or go to the site. So I did this in common.php inside of the notify function.

  //mail_send($to,$subject,$text,$conf['mailfrom'],'',$bcc);
  mail_send($to,$subject,$text,$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']. ' <cgi-mailer@perfora.net>','',$bcc);

Now the emails appear to come from the user that updated the page rather than cgi script on my server. Obviously you'd need to replace the “cgi-mailer@perfora.net” with whatever your mail shows up as. I don't know if this will help others or not. If you have questions you can email me.

Yes, actually, that helped me out alot, thank you very much! Check out the site I used it on… [http://www.southern-orchid.com]
