I would like to be able to change the ‘from’ address of the admin error emails in production environments to be the email address of the user that generated the error.  It would be convenient in triaging errors rather quickly.

 

I did examine the Django source code, but it doesn’t appear to be possible without writing my own custom function.  Any ideas?

 

Thank you!

Hi Matthew,

There should be considered following:
1. Not always cod runs with user interaction - worker cases
2. Not always user authenticated

With such cases who the sender should be?

Constantine C.

In such cases, we would have a fallback that is already established in the settings file.

Sorry but I do not see any valuable reason of doing things in such way.

Email is sent from wrong sender.
And if someone decides to email back than those user would be confused.

It is better to call things by its name.

The error emails only go to the admins: me.  I would not be confused because the subject line of the email indicates that it is coming from the Django app starting with [Django].  The value in receiving the emails with the user’s email address is so that if, for instance, the president of the company gets an error page or anyone else gets an error page, I can very quickly determine which error I should focus on by simply glancing on who the email is from.  (In this case, the president…)

As I know all error emails are sent within logger handler: 'mail_admins'.

I would suggest to override 'AdminEmailHandler' and 'mail_admins'.

for more information check logging documentation.

Hope that helps

Thank you so much, Constantine!  That was the clue I needed.  It’s not exactly the cleanest solution, but it does get the job done.  I copied AdminEmailHandler and mail_admins and modified them appropriately to include the from_email address.

 

I had some issue with “Apps not loaded,” but all I had to do then was move “from django.conf import settings” to the top of the file before all other imports.
