Ever since I installed BBpress I have this bug: Everytime an email is about to be sent I get an error message from my server like <noreply@ubdomain.domain.com>… Deferred: Connection refused by ubdomain.doamain.com.

You might have seen that the subdomain is being put into the email sender and the first letter of it is killed. In my opinion the sender should be noreply@domain.com instead of noreply@ubdomain.domain.com.

wp: 4.2.2
bbpress: 2.5.7
wp-url: subdomain.domain.com

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,

Ingo

Sorry for the late reply, I see you also made a trac ticket so thanks for reported an issue.

The unit tests are passing, so my guess is that it’s a problem with a plugin, or (less likely) your PHP setup. The $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] doesn’t include the protocol (http:// or https:// in most cases), so that shouldn’t be an issue.

My guess is that there is some other plugin that’s filtering bbp_get_do_not_reply_address incorrectly. Maybe even some code in your theme’s functions.php file. Could provide a list of the plugins you’re using. Specifically, bbPress or email related plugins?

Since installing 2.5.10 of the BBPress Plugin the corresponding function improved a bit. The function which creates the noreply sender sits in includes/common/functions.php and reads

function bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() {
	$sitename = strtolower( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] );
	if ( substr( $sitename, 0, 4 ) === 'www.' ) { $sitename = substr( $sitename, 4 ); }
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'noreply@' . $sitename );
}

In my case the domain is something like subdomain.domain.de

The above function creates the noreply address noreply@subdomain.domain.de
Correct would be (in my case) noreply@subdomain.de

IMHO the function could create the sender by parsing the $sitename from right to left (TLD DOT DOMAIN until DOT or //). I was too lazy and just added my specific case

function bbp_get_do_not_reply_address() {
	$sitename = strtolower( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] );
	if ( substr( $sitename, 0, 4 ) === 'www.' ) { $sitename = substr( $sitename, 4 ); }
	else if ( substr( $sitename, 0, 10 ) === 'subdomain.' ) { $sitename = substr( $sitename, 10 );}
	return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_do_not_reply_address', 'noreply@' . $sitename );
}
