    Got the solution from this thread

    Problem is resolved now.
    I learnt that the default setting for [From] field is “noreply@myurl”. Somehow WP Mail SMTP plugin was not recofigurring this setting to what I was giving it in the ‘From Email’ column of the plugin’s options page. What affects its ability after activaiton of BuddyPress is still a question.
    Another plugin Configure SMTP has helped setting it properly. But I still like WP Mail SMTP more for its debugging output and some other options. Hope Callum would help figuring out what files need to be tuned to make its settings unaffected by BP or other plugins.
