Troubleshooting issues with git-multimail: a FAQ ================================================ Git is not using the right address in the From/To/Reply-To field ---------------------------------------------------------------- First, make sure that git-multimail actually uses what you think it is using. A lot happens to your email (especially when posting to a mailing-list) between the time `git_multimail.py` sends it and the time it reaches your inbox. A simple test (to do on a test repository, do not use in production as it would disable email sending): change your post-receive hook to call `git_multimail.py` with the `--stdout` option, and try to push to the repository. You should see something like:: Counting objects: 3, done. Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 263 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: Sending notification emails to: foo.bar@example.com remote: =========================================================================== remote: Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 18:39:59 +0200 remote: To: foo.bar@example.com remote: Subject: [git] branch master updated: foo remote: MIME-Version: 1.0 remote: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 remote: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit remote: Message-ID: <20160425163959.2311.20498@anie> remote: From: Auth Or <Foo.Bar@example.com> remote: Reply-To: Auth Or <Foo.Bar@example.com> remote: X-Git-Host: example ... remote: -- remote: To stop receiving notification emails like this one, please contact remote: the administrator of this repository. remote: =========================================================================== To /path/to/repo 6278f04..e173f20 master -> master Note: this does not include the sender (Return-Path: header), as it is not part of the message content but passed to the mailer. Some mailer show the ``Sender:`` field instead of the ``From:`` field (for example, Zimbra Webmail shows ``From: <sender-field> on behalf of <from-field>``).
