   I need help in changing the default FROM address when a person receives their email confirmation when I manually register a new user.

   Right now the default FROM address is WORDPRESS@MyBlogDomain.com and I'd like to change it to anything that I want.

   Changing the Admin's email address has no effect.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   It should be the one in admin -> Options -> General

   I need the same thing. It's not the admin->options->general email address...that's only for receiving not sending.

   You might want to look at the wp_mail function in wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php to see how WordPress handles the From:.

   It might be something that needs to be overriden in the php.ini file...the sendmail section perhaps? Should be able to force a smtp from address though. Thanks for the tip I'll look there.

   MichaelH,

   You were right! The wp_mail function in the pluggable-functions.php file is where this "From" is handled.

   Thank you!!!
