    hello. i have a problem with the autoresponder (Mail 2), the sender name is always “WordPress”, even if i edit the sender email-adress in Mail 2 settings. how can I change the sender name? i can’t find the sender name “WordPress” in the CF7 or WordPress settings.

    the sender email-adress is right, but the sendername is always “WordPress”

    who can help me?

    Here’s a solution from the plug-ins FAQ:

    Mail that comes through the contact form shows “WordPress” as its sender name. How can I change this?

    A sender’s address is comprised of a sender’s email address and an optional sender name. WordPress assigns “WordPress” as a sender name if the settings have not been formatted. If you want to use another name so that “WordPress” no longer appears as your sender name, you must explicitly set the sender name in the ‘From:’ field in the ‘Mail’ section as the following:

    Sender Name <sender@example.com>

    Are you using your email ex : “admin@yourdomain.com or webmaster@yourdomain.com” in the from field of contact for 7. If yes change it with the same fields seen in HTML of the form , ex – [your-name] <your-email]>
    make sure you do not have a plugin like mail 2 SMTP installed which is over riding the settings.
    Also try to reconfigure the form, or simply create a new contact form and just copy paste form html and email format. Leave everything intact and see if it works. Later you can make necessary changes.
