I am using SwiftMailer to send emails from my application.
All is working fine so far. I now need to be able to change the text of the sender dynamically. The code snippet below and the next paragraph should hopefully clarify what I mean.
Currently, my code looks like this:
try{
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
->setFrom($from)
->setTo($to)
->setSubject($subject)
->setBody($content);
$mailer->send($message);
}catch (Exception $e) {
// do something ...
}
The $from variable contains the email address of the sender - which is [email protected]
However, I want to send daily digests (for example) for different entities (example forums, groups etc), so I want to be able to set the name text of the sender as 'Forum ABC members daily digest', even though the sender is still [email protected]. I notice that linkedin is doing something similar - they send out different digests under different sender names, even though the sender is always [email protected].
The default name for [email protected] is 'System Mailer'. Incidentally, I am using Google Apps as my mailing service provider. It is not practical for me to setup different user accounts, as users can create their own forums etc.
Is there a way whereby I can dynamically (i.e. via code) specify a sender name, although using the same sender email address?
You just have to pass $from as an array.
$from = array($from_email => $from_name);
try{
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance()
->setFrom($from)
->setTo($to)
->setSubject($subject)
->setBody($content);
$mailer->send($message);
}catch (Exception $e) {
// do something ...
}
Where you change $from_name for each of your mailers.
Hope it helps!
