Wordpress Notification Email Idiosyncrasies

[davidp]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if any of you have experienced this problem, but here it is:

All email notifications that get sent to me are delivered by mydomain@box199.bluehost.com instead of the usual wordpress@mydomain.com

I installed another test wordpress site under my main account and it appears that the problem exists on both my current wordpress site and the test site. This leads me to conclude that it's a Bluehost problem?

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me rectify this issue?

Many thanks,
David

The address has to actually exist in cPanel. So if it were comming form wordpress@yourdomain.com, then the email wordpress would have to be in this email list in cPanel.

Try that first, and if you're still having problems, there are some other things we can try.
