Sending mails from users' addresses is not a great idea

Great little extension!

However, lots of invites will end in spam folders because the extensions sends invites from the logged in user's e-mail address. If this address has SPF rules set up not allowing the wiki server to send mails (which in my world would almost always be the case), the receiving server will mark the message as spam.

Shouldn't this extension use $wgPasswordSender as From address?

Anyway, thanks for the great work!

Best regards, Asbjørn Baagø

I just installed this extension -- it's perfect for what I need, except emails keep going to spam. I wish I knew enough to submit a patch for this. If you could get around to it, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

I've been busy for a few days. I'll check to see if the above mentioned fix solves my problem. If not, I'll work on a fix and submit it. If it does fix it, I'm very thankful! :-)
