Allows you to configure the default email address and name used for emails sent by WordPress.
This plugin allows you to set the email address and name used for emails sent by WordPress by setting the From: header.
It is an updated and fully re-worked version of the WP Mail From plugin by Tristan Aston and now works with the latest versions of WordPress.

Either install via the WordPress admin plugin installer or…
wp-mailfrom-ii.zip
in the /wp-content/plugins/
directory, making sure the folder is called wp-mailfrom-ii
.Settings > Mail From
and save your preferred name and email address.This version is pretty much a complete re-write, fixes loads of bugs and works with the most recent versions of WordPress.
If upgrading from the WP Mail From plugin your current name an email settings should be copied across but please check.
To upgrade simply activate this plugin then deactivate the old WP Mail From plugin.
Option naming conventions have changed in this version of the plugin.
If you accessed either of the options directly for any reason you will need to re-factor you code as support for the old options will be removed in a future version.
The old options used to be retrieved as follows:
get_option( 'site_mail_from_name' ); get_option( 'site_mail_from_email' );
You should now use:
get_option( 'wp_mailfrom_ii_name' ); get_option( 'wp_mailfrom_ii_email' );
Possibly your mail server has added a Sender: header or is configured to always set the envelope sender to the user calling it.
Some hosts may refuse to relay mail from an unknown domain. See https://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5007 for more details.
