the activation mail

the mail that sends the activation links to my new members is : member@forumotion.com

how can i change this mail to my admin mail

thanks alot

if i'm not wrong, and please correct , you must purchase a domain from forumotion

cybernet,

i have to purchase a domain to change the activation mail address ?
can someone confirm this?

There is no option for this. I looked and doubled check and nothing.

hope there is one way to change it

Nopes, there is no way to change it.
The only way is as mentioned above, get a domain. Then you are allowed to make 10 email addresses such as xyz@domainname.com

yeah i know about the smtp mails that u get with new domains
but at another host for free forums too i was able to modify this by even a yahoo mail, no need for sub domains
and at forumotion there is that tab in one of the configurations page for the admin mail, i thought that was for the activation mails and the others mails sent by forum but still members activation mails r all sent from : member@forumotion.com

i just want to make it easier for my forum members to know that this mail is the activation mail for there forum account

Yes that option is there, while sending a newsletter.
You can select either the email addres as board@forumotion.com or your private email address through which the admin account is activated.

Also in Admin panel>general>Messages and emails
Email Settings frame,

Admin Email Address : Change it to a private email address on gmail, etc

hope this helps.

i know that gmail is the only mail server that supports free smtp is this the cause of my forum using forumotion mail (than my yahoo doesnt support smtp)?
thanks alot for the help

just tested it, too bad it didnt work

I just said gmail etc, you can try using others too.
But, i really don't know how to do it if this didn't work. Sorry.

So what if I want to use a domainname that I already own?
