Hi Aaron. Thanks for the hack it worked great for me.

One thing I noticed is that you have an extra $this->msg where my code has simply $msg. I didn’t change it. I simply added “, “-f” . $config['board_email'] to the existing line and did not do a full copy and paste.

I’ve just upgraded to v3.06 of PHPBB3. They still haven’t included this adjustment to the core code.

The fix still needs to be applied, however the core code has changed in v3.06, and there is only one instance of the code to change.

@Scott Not sure haven’t looked for ages, but until then at least you have a fix.

Thanks for documenting this! Anyone aware if a formal feature request is in place to make this a configurable option in phpBB 3?

Sorry about that, I had not put the code into Wordpress properly and it had mangled the quotes.

The code is now able to be copy and pasted straight from this blog post.
