    Hi Stephen,
    When a registration confirmation is sent to the end user it looks like the envelope from is being set to the website owner, rather than the admin email address. At least it does in an environment where WordPress is being run with SU-PHP.
    Scenario: victor is the username of the website owner,
    admin’s email address is jai@mydomain.com
    Envelope from is set to victor@localhost
    From: is set to jai@mydomain.com

    This only really matters if the email address the end user has registered with is bogus and
    bounces. The bounce seems to go to the envelope from address. It would be nice to capture
    that bounce.
    Thanks for any information,
    Jamii

    Hi Jamii,

    This is actually default WordPress behaviour and Event Organiser doesn’t change it. There are numerous plug-ins that allow you to set the ‘from’ email and name (http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ is one of them. Although its primary purpose is something else, you can change those details without using SMTP).

    Tom McFarlin wrote this article on how to change the details programmatically http://tommcfarlin.com/change-email-sender-in-wordpress/

    Thanks! That’s quite helpful. I’ll look into that.
