Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Change Sender Email - From Name and From Address

Go to Settings, then WP Default Mail. Enter the address you want in the Sender Mail ID field and save. Every email WordPress sends then comes from that address.

The same screen has a Sender Name field. Whatever you enter there replaces "WordPress" in the recipient's inbox.

Yes, for any plugin that sends through WordPress itself. Those plugins call wp_mail(), and this plugin filters the sender on that call. A plugin that sends through its own SMTP connection, bypassing WordPress, sets its own sender.

Often it helps. A recognisable from address at your own domain looks far less suspicious than wordpress@yourdomain. It is not a complete answer on its own: spam filtering also depends on the SPF and DKIM records for your domain.

No. That is a delivery problem, not a sender problem. Use an SMTP plugin to route your email through a real mail server, and use this plugin alongside it to control

WordPress uses its own defaults. The plugin only steps in once you have set an address, and it ignores an address that is not valid.

Yes. Settings are per site, so each site in the network has its own sender.
