 * In the ‘Mail’ tab, you’ll see something like this in the From field:
 * [your-name] <wordpress@wordpress.test>
 * The email address must match the domain. So for example if your domain is: [http://www.mywebsite.com](http://www.mywebsite.com)
   then the email address must be something [@mywebsite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mywebsite/).
   com
 * The [your-name] must match whatever the name field is on your form.
 * Hope that helps!
