   when someone posts a comment on my site, the email i get has no from address.

   I have searched in the forums for this but the solutions (remove more from @mail in functions.php) dont seem to be for wp 1.5.2.

   I am hosting at home on win2k3 and iis6 with php4.

   Just to reiterate, i am getting emailed when someone leaves a comment but there is no "FROM:" address.. ie its blank.

   Where does it pull the from address ? i thought it would use the normal admin address... buts its coming up blank.

   This all started happening when i upgraded to 1.5.2.

   Thanks in advance.

   You can look in wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php to see how it is calling it. You could also consider WP 2.0.1 which uses wordpress@domain.com for From, I think, and uses Reply-To for the commenter's e-mail.

   Thanks for the reply.

   Im actually a php newbie, in fact a WP newbie too !

   I have looked in the pluggable-fuctions.php and found:

   if ( !function_exists('wp_mail') ) :
   function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = '') {
   if( $headers == '' ) {
   $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
   "From: " . get_settings('admin_email') . "\n" .
   "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"" . get_settings('blog_charset') . "\"\n";
   }

   return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
   ---------------

   i really didnt know what i was looking for or where i can specify a "from:" address.

   Could someone please clarify ?

   ps this was working perfectly in 1.5, its only after i upgraded to 1.5.2 that i lost the "From:" address.

   Thanks in advance.

   Just an update,

   i have tried to change the line:
   "From: " . get_settings('admin_email') . "\n" .

   so it says

   "From:ali@alibutt.com " . get_settings('admin_email') . "\n" .

   but the emails are still coming back with no "From:" address :(
