Change "From" element in drupal mail [closed]

Question

While sending registration success e-mail in Drupal system, I want to update "from" element.

Ex: My admin e-mail is "[email protected]". While sending e-mail to user, I want to change it as "Myname <([email protected])>"

Can we do it through hook_mail_alter?

I have tried below code. But din't work as expected.

function mymodule_mail_alter(&$message) {
 print_r($message); // I din't get any response here
}

Want to append Name before email ID.

Edit: hook_mail_alter its not triggering neither module nor template.php. Module is enabled. I have cleared cache too.

Answer 1

We can easily change the From with hook_mail_alter using 'from' key from $message.

function mymodule_mail_alter(&$message) { 
  $message['from'] = 'Your Name ('. $message['from'] . ')'; 
}

Also, Please check hook_mail function https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_mail/7 which needs to be written for your module and then you need to call drupal_mail function.

hook_mail_alter is just for modifying the variables passed to drupal_mail.
