 * Hi
    I have an odd behaviour with one of our forms: The notification e-mails to
   both sender and site owner arrive as they should, but the “from” e-mail address
   is wrong. In the form (Email notification > Advanced > From e-mail) I have entered
   the site owner’s e-mail, but in the e-mails I get when testing, the from e-mail
   is something totally different. It is an address that belongs to the domain, 
   but with my wife’s name before @. Confusing also for other users, so – ideas?
   Thanks

 * Hello [@kjetilgf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kjetilgf/)
 * I hope you’re well today and thank you for your question!
 * First, could you please check settings of “From Headers” on “Forminator -> settings-
   > General” page to see if that address is, perhaps, used there?
 * If that’s not a case – is this address used anywhere on site in places such as:
 * – as an “Administration Email Address” (WordPress “Settings -> General” page)?
   –
   an administrator account? – any SMTP plugin installed on site and configured 
   to use this e-mail as e-mail delivery?
 * Best regards,
    Adam

 * As simple as that – thank you!
    It never crossed my mind that a general setting
   could override a single-form setting. Honestly I do not think this is logical,–
   so you might consider changing it. Also since Forminator otherwise works so well
   🙂 Thanks
 * PS I’ve checked with previous submissions from other forms (not in use anymore)
   on the same site – same “mysterious” sender
