"From" email adderss not working

    Hi There

    I am self-hosting and Ive noticed that my site sends emails from a generic admin email address, not the correct “from” address that I have configured.

    Ive set the from address in both the WordPress general settings (settings –> general –> email address) and the Woocommerce settings (Woocommerce –> settings –> “From” Email Address) but instead, the email comes from a default email address from my system. eg: admin@<hostname>

    Ive googled this a bit and found some plugins that seem to be a simple answer (for exmaple, this one) but they do not work for me. They seem to be only fixing a situation when your from address is “[email protected]”. This is not my situation.

    Can anyone help? Just to reiterate:
    – I am self hosting
    – From address comes from default server address (not sure where that is configured)
    – WordPress and Woocommerce config for email address has been done
    – “Change from address” plugins tried and failed.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance…

    Correction, the email is coming from “apache@<hostname>” so it’s something to do with the webserver configuration but Im still not sure how to fix it….

    I got it. Im using postfix so I needed to edit:

    sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail-t -i

    to :

    sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix -t -i

    in php.ini
