   This is really a question for Feedburner, but I've been unable to get an answer on the Feedburner Forum. Hopefully, someone can shed some light on this for me.

   I'm a graphic designer ...designed a blog (my first) for a client (the local Chamber of Commerce) ...self-hosted at Dreamhost. When I set up the Feedburner account, I naively used my own name and email. So now, the email feeds are from ME instead of being from my client.

   I've searched high and low ...can't figure out where Feedburner gets the "from" info. I changed the email address on my Feedburner account, but it made no difference.

   Help!?

   FYI...
   Blog URL: http://www.postcardsfromthesmokies.com
   Feed Address = http://feeds.feedburner.com/PostcardsFromTheSmokies
   Subscribe email = http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2037184&loc=en_US

   Thanks,

   Charles

   Charles - I am having the exact same problem, did anyone ever respond to you? I don't believe it's Feedburner, as the latest solution was to set up an all-new feed using the correct "From email"...my information appears nowhere, only my client's. Meanwhile, in WordPress, my email information does exist as an admin and was at one point incorrectly in the "General Settings" email address. That was changed, but the change did not take effect in email notifications.

   What gives??

   feed address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/mfa-cpa/ogZo

   The From address for the Feedburner emails comes from the setting in Feedburner itself.

   Go to Publicize, Email Subscriptions, Communication Preferences. The setting is there.

   Thank you, but the email in Feedburner email subscriptions is NOT the email that shows up in the "From" address.

   Also, when a subscription activation email is sent out, when recipients hit "Reply" the wrong email appears there, as well!

   Wow, how frustrating: again - my email address is not used anywhere in the Feedburner account, only in WordPress, so it would make logical sense that the error is coming from WordPress. Does anyone understand what I'm writing?

   WordPress does not send out feeds via email like that, so I don't understand why you think it would be WordPress. It has no subscription mechanism of any sort.

   FeedBurner sends out feed emails. Period. The problem is on their end.
