I've set up a gmail account to use when sending email notifications from my TeamCity installation. The emails are being sent correctly, but I want to specify the From: header using their .ftl files. According to this page (under Supported Output Values), I can specify email headers. I've copied their <global#... block directly into a number of their template files, namely common.ftl, build_successful.ftl and it never works.
The block I added looks like this:
<#global headers>
From: Some Test <[email protected]>
</#global>
It doesn't do anything. Neither does their sample headers. Any help is appreciated.
You can specify the From: address via the UI under Administration > Email Notifier -> Send email messages from:.
This updates the value stored in the <TeamCity data directory>/config/_notifications/email/email-config.xml file.
I suspect overriding the From: address at the ftl template level is not a supported approach given that the above is the documented method; it might make for a good feature request in TC 9.0.
