Desired Outcome Goal:
Correct "From" value in GUI-generated email notices.
Procedure:
There are two components to the "From:" the name and the <email address> which must be specified on the PC which is producing the notices (the PC the Print Daemon is running on).
1. To set the name, specify a "MailerName=" value in the [Mail] section of the PC's .\alephcom.ini.
2. To set the email address, specify a "FromAddress=" value in the [Mail] section of the PC's .\alephcom.ini.
