Description

If one shares a folder or does comment a file the notification FROM address should be from the user who triggered that action.
For example if one (user1@mycloud.xyz) shares a folder to an e-mail-address which is wrong the bounce comes to the central configured mail-address (hostmaster@mycloud.xyz) and the user who shared the link has no clue that the share notification could not be delivered.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing notification email handling for folder sharing and file comments, including how the configured central address is selected. Done means bounce messages use the address of the user who triggered the action for both notification types.
