TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners whose hosting provider doesn't let them easily set the outgoing email 'From' address. It solves the problem of emails showing a hosting-generated address instead of the site's own address by letting admins configure the From line from the WordPress admin panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Send From

My host is Host Monster, who does not allow me to easily set the email address my server communicates with. I was not willing to outright hack Wordpress; so, I created a plugin that has worked solidly for me since Wordpress version 3.

I'm told that WordPress 2.7 changed several settings, including the way things are sent via mail. So I can't guarentee support before version 2.7.

Chances are if it's not working with another plugin then I have not encountered the issue and am not likly to fix it. So no, I'm sorry but I will not be adding support for x, y, z.
