Description

According to the comment at source:tags/4.0.1/app/models/mail_handler.rb#L93, mail handler is supposed to ignore emails sent from emission email address (Setting.mail_from). It behaves as expected if Setting.mail_from only includes an email address like "". However, it does not ignore the emails if Setting.mail_from includes a display name like "Joe Bloggs <>". The reason is that the code at source:tags/4.0.1/app/models/mail_handler.rb#L94 don't assume the format other than "".

  • OK: joe@example.com
  • NG: <joe@example.com>
  • NG: Joe Bloggs <joe@example.com>
  • NG: joe@example.com (Joe Bloggs)

  • File 30785-fix.diff added

Here is a patch to fix this issue.

The patch adds a new method Setting.mail_from_addess to extract an email address from the value of Setting.mail_from. I think it is useful to fix #14792 and implement #5913.

#5913 and #14792 have been fixed without using newly added Setting.mail_from_addess method. Only MailHandler#receive uses the method now and I don't think other methods will use it in the future.

Therefore, I think r17862 should be reverted before releasing Redmine 4.0.2 and this issue should be fixed like the following:
