When the "From email address" radio is set to "site" the message has a blank sender according to Hotmail and subsequently gets placed in Junk mail. Also, when the from address is set to "inviter", the invite form shows user_email@whatever.com but the message only shows the sender as user_email@whatever.com which seems inconsistent.

My site has both MimeMail and Send installed however I tried disabling them both and still have the same issue.

You're using Drupal 5.0, not the latest 5.1, don't you? If so, please download the patch or checkout the latest version from CVS.

New patch fixes also the bogus sender address displayed.

It was in fact my fault, as I was relying on the API documentation of drupal_mail(), which includes changes to prevent emails looking like spam. But these changes are currently only available in CVS (ie. Drupal 5.2/4.7.7 when they're out), so I was coding ahead of time. Back to future comes to mind.... mea culpa.

I've just created hotfix releases 5.x-1.8A and 4.7.x-1.8 which contain as a goodie the changes to the email headers, as will be available in future Drupal versions. These changes to my knowledge should be a crucial step to avoid getting emails marked as spam.

Looks like everything is working well now. Thanks so much for the quick turnaround and for the great module.
