Email problem

[LukeAnderson]

Hi,
I was wondering whether somebody can help me out with something very basic.

I installed wordpress and allowed user registration. Password is sent to user's email after they register. The problem is that they received email from something like this:
myaccount@box548.bluehost.com

How can I change it so that I can change it to something like my name or anything I want.

The email is showing thing like this:
From:
"myaccount@box548.bluehost.com" <myaccount@box548.bluehost.com>

I couldn't find anything in the CPanel. Thanks.

make sure that you are sending the emails using a from address that actually exists.

I have a similar issue and I'm working to fix it. Will let you know when I'm through.

The way WordPress writes the headers will cause that to happen. Either way, you want to make sure the email address you are sending from always exists/is created in your cPanel, as felgall advised. You can also use the email address wordpress@yourdomain.com as that is the email WordPress sets by default. Or, you can try one of the following plugins:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-from-email/

You can also use the email address wordpress@yourdomain.com as that is the email WordPress sets by default.

That does need to exist in order to work just as any other email address does.

Hi there.

I have a problem with the php email form i have included in my system. Basically, what it does is send an email to a person (personA) when an action is satisfied (that is, related to the request of personA)... It's like a confirmation email.

What I did was, when I tested it, I tried to send an email to our local email (myname@locdom.gov.xz)... So, when I Submitted the form, I got the email - fine. However, when I try to test it by sending an email to another user on our domain (e.g. hisname@@locdom.gov.xz), the person does NOT receive the email supposedly generated by the script. May I know what I should further do? I am using an xampp installation, and have set the variables in my php.ini file to:
SMTP = [valid IP of our mailbox Exchange Server]
smtp_port = 25

I hope you can help me with this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry to counter your question with another question, but is BlueHost involved in some way with this emailing you describe either with sending or receiving?
