Allow setting MAILFROM field in crons from Plesk Interface
When a customer adds a cronjob within the Plesk interface through "Scheduled tasks", they can set the recipient (MAILTO field) of the cron with the "Send notifications to" field, but there is no option to set the sender (MAILFROM field). By default, the sender for crondaemon is user@server.tld, which in our case causes SPF errors with the receiving mail server of the recipient.
We do not give our clients CLI access, so they cannot manually set it with the crontab -e command, nor should they (the whole point of the Plesk Interface is for GUI-style ease of use). Could this be added as an additional field that can be filled in, so this argument can be given with the cronjob? It would ensure users can select a valid mailaddress for their crons, so they receive them properly.

Thank you for your idea and your additional explanation. As the use case is probably an edge case, we'll need to see whether many other users believe that this is an important feature that they need.
If you believe it is an important feature, please continue voting for this feature request.

We use the server's hostname, not a custom domain name, for the Plesk Interface URL. The domain which houses subdomains for our servers (which are used as their hostnames), doesn't have SPF, and for security reasons we do not plan to add one. We would rather not have mail be sent from this domain at all by customers.

It's specifically about this page in the panel, when adding or editing a cron through Scheduled tasks. What we'd like to see, is a "Send notification from" or similar setting, that sets the MAILFROM argument, much like how "Send notification to" adjusts the MAILTO argument.
