my website is bizlist411.com, when geocraft sends an automatic email response to a user or new user, the "from" is "[email protected] and gives a link of http://bizlist411.com/wp-login.php. I would like the "from" to be "[email protected]" and the link to be "bizlist411.com. blue host gave me instructions on how to do this but i can't figure it out. please help this is what they gave me: Scripted E-mails appear to come from username@box###.BlueHost.com Problem: Why do scripted e-mails come from < username@box###.BlueHost.com > when I have specified otherwise?Solution: This is because our servers require you (or your script) to use a properly formatted, valid From: field in the email's header. If the From: field is not formatted correctly, empty or the email address does not exist in the cPanel, the From: address will be changed tousername@box###.BlueHost.com. You must change the script you are using to correctly use a valid From: header. Examples of headers that should work would be: From: [email protected] will work From: "user" <[email protected]> Examples of headers that will NOT work: From: "[email protected]" From: user @ domain.com From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Our servers will not accept the name for the email address and the email address to be the same. It will not accept a double declaration of the email address. If you do not want to edit your PHP based scripts, you can modify the sendmail_path line located in your php.ini. You would want to modify it like this: sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f'[email protected]' The part that you will be adding is: -f'[email protected]' This method works because the php mail function calls sendmail (a program on the server) directly using the path defined in your php.ini. Placing the -f flag here allows us to work directly with sendmail without PHP getting in the way. Passing a "From" header to the php mail function will override the -f flag set in your php.ini. For scripts such as Joomla and Wordpress, you will need to follow their documentation for formatting the from fields properly. Note: The email address you use must be a valid created account in the cPanel.
