Changing site email address

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello.

I'm trying to change the email address I put in during the setup but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Not in Sitewide Setting -> Email, not anywhere else I can find in the Dashboard. Even fgrep-ing in the website root for the email address returns nothing at all. I even looked over some tables in the database to look but did not find anything.

Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks.

Wow, thanks. Would not have guessed that. Not the most obvious place for it, I guess.

I have done that. I am using v5.4.0.5 I still get messages back from my bluehost hosting account when sent as from box###.bluehost.com which is the virtual box for my account.

I called BlueHost. They said I need to use an email account which is valid on the server. I am. I always was.

Now what?

Any ideas?

The box###.bluehost.com is probably being used because you are using the PHP internal mail function; so the mail will still appear as coming from youruser@webhost.domain.com.

You may be better off using an External SMTP server for your mail, this can be configured in Sitewide Settings -> Email.

Thanks! I tried that. Now I am not getting any emails at all.

I'm having this same Problem. Using the PHP mail function sends the email as from my host server, and I can't get SMTP to send anything (even though I used the SMTP info provided by my webhost).

I tried adding the suggested default from email code to my site.php file, and that didn't seem to change anything either. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
