Description
I have issues with my hosting service not allowing me to easily set the ‘From line’ for my server email. Whenever a new user signs up they see username@hostingservice.com even though they should see user@site.com. Before Send From you would be required to modify your installation of WordPress just about every time you do an update. No longer! With Send From, you simply go into ‘Settings->Send From’ and set what the end user will see on their emails from line.
Support Questions
If there are any issues that crop up, I will be happy to take a look at solving them. I don’t often check the support forum for issues, so if you have anything that needs immediate attention, reach out to me on twitter @mahoskye.

FAQ
- Why create this?
-
My host is Host Monster, who does not allow me to easily set the email address my server communicates with. I was not willing to outright hack WordPress; so, I created a plugin that has worked solidly for me since WordPress version 3.
- What is the minimum version that is useable with this plugin?
-
I’m told that WordPress 2.7 changed several settings, including the way things are sent via mail. So I can’t guarentee support before version 2.7.
- This pluging doesn’t work with x, y, z. Will you add support?
-
Chances are if it’s not working with another plugin then I have not encountered the issue and am not likly to fix it. So no, I’m sorry but I will not be adding support for x, y, z.
