Changing From Email Address

What

The default From email need to be changed to a local email.
Note Usually there is no need for changing this. If change needed, make sure the new From email address is a valid address on the mail server.

How

  • Current From email address (on Elsevier hosted Pure instances) is: purehosted@elsevier.com.
  • If your Pure is self-hosted you probably already have this set up to point to your own mail server.  
  • When you want to change the From email address, you will need to change the following fields under Administrator > System settings > pure mail:
  • From email address
    • Mail host (SMTP)
    • Mail port
    • Mail host username
    • Mail host password
    • Select: either to Enable or disable STARTTLS command
  • If you are using Office 350 > Go to Advanced settings and remove mail.smtp.ssl.enable=true from that section.
  • If you are using another one just leave it as it appears:
    • mail.smtps.auth=true
    • mail.smtp.ssl.enable=true
  • If the changed From email address does not work, see stack trace in email queue and follow the guide linked to below this description.
  • Email queue can be found under Admin > System settings > Email queue.
