 * yeah – after petits suggestion didn’t do what i was expecting, i looked around
 * in /wp-includes there is a file “pluggable functions”
 * Around Line 165 change:
    “From: wordpress@” in the line `"From: wordpress@". 
   preg_replace('#^www.#', '', strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']))`
 * to whatever email name you want it to come from
    eg From you@ or accounts@
