   Greetings,

   (I am using 3.0.3, but there is only up to 3.0.1 in the selection above.)

   When ALO EasyMail Newsletter plugin sends out a message the sender is myname@box557.bluehost.com.
   I would like it to be an address of the domain itself.

   I tried with changing the appropriate parameters at Settings... and still it is the same.
   I have created wordpress@mydomain.hu ... and still does not work better.

   I contacted the hosting (BlueHost), and they say:

   This is because our servers require you (or your script) to use a properly formatted, valid From: field in the email's header. If the From: field is not formatted correctly, empty or the email address does not exist in the cPanel, the From: address will be changed to username@box###.bluehost.com. To stop this, you do one of the two options:
   1. You must change the script you are using to correctly use a valid From: header.

   Examples of headers that should work would be:

   From: user@domain.com
   From: <user@domain.com>
   From: "name" <user@domain.com>
   Examples of headers that will NOT work:

   From: "user@domain.com"
   From: user @ domain.com

   You can speak to the developers of the plugin that you provided.

   How could I make sure, that the WP messages' sender is not bluehost, but what I set up in the Settings?

   Thanks, greetings

   Tamas

   About the activation e-mail, look at line 283-296 of alo-easymail_functions.php. You can try to manually edit $mail_sender: eg. you can replace $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] typing a domain. If the error happens again you can edit the line 286 following your provider guideline.
   For newsletter batch, the lines are the 734-739.
   Let us know about that.

   Hello eventualo!

   THANKS. It was quick AND useful! It worked like charm... both for the subscribtion and for the newsletter-sending.
   :)

   (Just a question: how comes that the normal script is not working?)

   Another point: I have made a lot of modifications on the Hungarian translation file (.po and .mo), as I found a lot of errors in it. There are still a lot to correct, and to add... however, it is much better now. Do you need my version?

   Friendly greetings and THANKS,

   Tamas

   Hi Tamas, well done. But, how did you solve it? Replacing $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] or editing the line 286 (the From: field)? I'd like to have more info to modify the plugin if needed.
   About your Hungarian translation files we'll be glad to receive your files! Please send me via e-mail (alo -AT- eventualo -DOT- net).

   Hi!

   Here it is what I modified in the alo-easymail_functions.php file:

   line #285:
       $headers .= "From: ". $blogname ." <"."hirlevel@arteur.hu".">\n";
   
   line #735:
           $headers .= "From: ". $from_name ." <"."hirlevel@arteur.hu".">\n";

   Of course, first I have created the above e-mail address.

   I have sent to you the Hungarian .po and .mo files via e-mail.
   Please, note: hey are not ready!!! However, they are better than before. I might still work on them... if so, I shall send you the new version, of course.

   Thank you, again thousand times for your quick and useful help.
   I am going to post this solution of the Hungarian and English WP Forums, as well... where I wrote my question, too.
   (I have already posted the solution to BlueHost, so, next time they can help for other users...)

   Next to your plugin, I have the same trouble with all WP system messages, they come from a BlusHost mailbox. By chance... do you have a solution for it, as well?

   Friendly greetings,

   Tamas

   Make sure that whatever address you are sending from actually/physically exists in your Email Accounts with your host.

   I found the following article on BlueHost's Help Center. It may help as well: http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/index.php/kb/article/000206
