Email sent by AdminEmailHandler is sent from <root@localhost>, not from settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL

[אורי]

I'm using AdminEmailHandler in Speedy Net to send mail to the admins. My log file contains the following lines:

'handlers': {

'syslog': {

'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'logging.handlers.SysLogHandler',
'facility': 'local7',
'address': '/dev/log',
'formatter': 'verbose'

},
'mail_admins': {

'level': 'WARNING',
'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
'formatter': 'verbose',

},

},

But the email I receive (as an admin) from logging is sent to me from <root@localhost>, although I configured a from address (DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL) and other emails I receive from Django is from the from address (which is different for the staging server)

How do I change the from address of email sent to admins from logging?

It's the SERVER_EMAIL setting.

Check out the docs:

Thank you, I was not aware about this separate setting.

I thought it was a bug of Django 1.11. I didn't know it works as expected.
