For this to work correctly on Bluehost, you’ll have to use an email address that is created in the Bluehost cPanel. Your user@hostname is what scripted email defaults to, and having the from address as an existing email should fix the issue.
Thank you! I will be trying this now.
Well, they aren’t coming from the server anymore, but they are now coming with this in the “from” bar.
Plain Text Full Preview receiving-email-address@gmail.com via box523.bluehost.com
or on outlook it shows as
Plain Text Full Preview [receiving-email-address@mydomain.com]
I just tested, and my from address in the receiving end was just “admin.” There are a few things I would suggest though. In combination with this plugin, use the SMTP plugin. Just search for “SMTP” and it will come up. Make sure your host is just “localhost” (they have http://localhost) with port 26, and you have an existing email address and password. I found those 2 to work best with each other.
THANK YOU!
I will definitely try this.
@zach,
The Preview emails are sent From and To the email address of the currently logged in user. Your live emails should come from the sender details you specify in the drop down in the settings.
Thanks for all of the help guys!
I was able to get this working by using the plug in SMTP Configuration.
