when i do an on demand reminder the from and reply email is not what I put into plans_config.pl for example

I put myemail@mywebsite-thatimade.org (unfortunately there is a dash in my domain)
and when I get the email it is from myemail-thatimade.org@mywebsitehost.com

ok for anyone watching this thread... i just got my first email reminder... the best I can figure... and maybe someone can verify this... you can not make an event and have plans send the reminder within a 24 hour period...

I say this because the first reminder that I just got was the first one I made that had a greater than 24 hour span from creation date to reminder time....

bondct,

I am having teh same problem with e-mails appear to come from name@domainofrecipient address as opposed to name@mydomain:

i.e. Ihave it set to do a reply from calendar@heathwood.org,when I getthe reminder it comes from calendar.org@southeastrr.com (the e-mail recipient is jcab@sc.r.com.

This sounds like teh problem you described in a post. You then said that you dumped teh directory and everything was working now. What did you mean by you "dumped teh directory?"

Please help.
