Send recovery code from no-reply email from domain #1050

Open tuliocasagrande opened 7 years ago

tuliocasagrande commented 7 years ago

We are currently sending the recovery code emails with the team@pixelated-project.org address. We would like to send it with something like no-reply@<domain-name>. For this, we need to ensure this user is reserved and the domain name is retrieved from current domain, dynamically.

Acceptance Criteria

When I submit my back-up account email, I should receive an email with the whole recovery code from the no-reply@<domain-name> email (i.e, no-reply@wazokazi.is).

@SweetVirginia , let's use this to start the discussion of what the user name for the "no-reply" email should be!!

SweetVirginia commented 7 years ago

Since our idea is to sent a code so people can recover their account in case they forget their password. No-reply may look look like a spam or any other spammy newsletter.

Some more reasons why no-reply isn't the best solution:


Can we have the Pixelated logo (the box) as a picture so people can relate the message with the place they were creating account?

Since is an automatic email, we could call -brainstorming alert- "recovery@youraccount.org" or "robot@youraccount.org" or "admin@youraccount.org" or even "pixelated@youraccount.org" or "pixelated-support@youraccount.org" or "important@youraccount.org" hahaha this last one looks like phishing, sorry 🤣 ; @olabini do you know any security best practices for this?
