It’s actually expected behavior — just went back and checked on some of my emails and they also come from [wordpress@tddewey.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresswebsitecom/wordpress@tddewey.com?output_format=md). * I suppose there’s probably a way to hook into and change the email address, but I don’t see a particular reason to need to do so. To what purpose are you trying to email your blog back? Perhaps we can find a way around it. * Thread Starter [denzel2364](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel2364/) * (@denzel2364) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresswebsitecom/#post-1474959) * Its because it is a commercial website.

Looks like there’s a filter already set-up for you called `wp_mail_from`. * So, we can add a filter hook and modify the `wp_mail_from` if it’s from wordpress@whatever as well as the `wp_mail_from_name` to be “noreply” or similar. * This can be put in your theme’s functions.php — it was tested with WordPress 3.0b1 — it should work on 2.9… * ``` function changedefaultemail($from_email) { $sitename = strtolower( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ); if ( substr( $sitename, 0, 4 ) == 'www.' ) { $sitename = substr( $sitename, 4 ); } if (strtolower($from_email) == 'wordpress@'.$sitename) { $from_email = 'noreply@'.$sitename; return $from_email; } } function changedefaultname ($wp_mail_from_name) { if (strtolower($wp_mail_from_name) == 'wordpress') { $wp_mail_from_name = 'noreply'; return $wp_mail_from_name; } } add_filter ( 'wp_mail_from', 'changedefaultemail' ); add_filter ( 'wp_mail_from_name','changedefaultname'); ``` * [Taylor Dewey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taylorde/) * (@taylorde) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresswebsitecom/#post-1474980) * These functions of course, could be modified to get the site administrator’s email address and use that instead. * Thread Starter [denzel2364](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denzel2364/) * (@denzel2364) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresswebsitecom/#post-1475197) * Hi taylorde, * Thank you for the code.
