| Troubleshooting issues with git-multimail: a FAQ |
| ================================================ |
| |
| Git is not using the right address in the From/To/Reply-To field |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| First, make sure that git-multimail actually uses what you think it is |
| using. A lot happens to your email (especially when posting to a |
| mailing-list) between the time `git_multimail.py` sends it and the |
| time it reaches your inbox. |
| |
| A simple test (to do on a test repository, do not use in production as |
| it would disable email sending): change your post-receive hook to call |
| `git_multimail.py` with the `--stdout` option, and try to push to the |
| repository. You should see something like:: |

| Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 263 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. |

| Note: this does not include the sender (Return-Path: header), as it is |
| not part of the message content but passed to the mailer. Some mailer |
| show the ``Sender:`` field instead of the ``From:`` field (for |
| example, Zimbra Webmail shows ``From: <sender-field> on behalf of |
| <from-field>``). |
