Overview
This plugin allows you to set the email address and name used for emails sent by WordPress by setting the From: header.
It is an updated and fully re-worked version of the WP Mail From plugin by Tristan Aston and now works with the latest versions of WordPress.
- Adds a “Mail From” section in the “Settings” menu.
- The plugin uses the filter hooks
wp_mail_fromandwp_mail_from_name. - The priority for the hooks is set to 1 to allow for other plugins that may hook these with the default priority of 10 to override this plugin.

Lets me update Email From
by Fahrenhe1t·9 years ago
I have a WordPress installation on a local network, sending emails through sSMTP. The mail relay does not allow default “From” addresses to have “wordpress@home” with no “.com.” The plugin allows me to change the email address to be valid, and allows mails to go through.
The only one that works on WP Engine so far
by noelsaw·9 years ago
Great plugin. This is the only 1 out 4 (found here on WP.org repo) that would work in one of WP Engine’s environment (one of of their different infrastructure providers).
Works in 4.5.3, keeps emails professional
by John.Hicks·9 years ago
The plugin worked for me, using 4.5.3. If you’re here, you might be having issues with your hosting account sending emails as something like (BlueHost):
This is a problem. 1) It doesn’t look professional, 2) it hands out your username!
This plugin helps you catch any plugins using [email protected], making it more of a one-stop solution, rather than digging through each of your plugin’s settings to possibly find a solution.
Solved my problem

E-mail confirmation of contact form bounced, but this plugin solved the problem
Simple and effective
by Marco Chiesi·10 years ago
It just does what it is supposed to do. Thanks.
P.S. I think these settings should part of WordPress core.
