Package: moodle
Version: 1.9.9.dfsg2-2.1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream patch
If you set Moodle up with smtp:gmail.com:465 as your SMTP host, you have a
undesirable
behaviour well described in Moodle's wiki [0], see "Important warning".
You can avoid this adding the header "Reply-to" in Moodle mails, I attach a
patch
with this change. This change won't affect other setups.
Warning: to test this you must do another code modification, also described in
[0], but I'm
afraid this minor modification ($host = 'ssl://' . $host;) won't work for every
setup
(for example, if you don't use SSL).
Thanks for your work :-)
