- In case of delivery problems, bounce messages will be sent back to the
user, possibly including the recipient's address which is supposed to be kept private.
As a workaround for such configurations I've introduced a config var $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo. When set, a wiki-specific address is used as 'From', and the user's address is put in 'Reply-To'.
This is uglier -- you don't see a clean 'Sender' column in your mail client -- but mails will get through and private data won't get tossed around inappropriately.
Brion, thank you for finding a fix for this severe bug. Could you please clarify for the technically less advanced (i. e. me), if your workaround is already installed in all wikimedia-projects of if there are further steps to be taken in order to fix this bug on all wikis?
Best regards
