5007	Email notifications fail on hosted sites that check sender address	jlwarlow	pishmishy	"I had wordpress 2.2.2 hosted on FastHosts and wasn't getting any email notifications, everything was landing in dead.letter. After some investigation I found it was because the phpmailer->Sender wasn't being set. Fasthosts check the sender email address to make sure it's a valid email address for an account in your domain as part of their spam filtering rules.

If you add the line

{{{
$phpmailer->Sender = ""wordpress@"" . preg_replace('#^www\.#', '', strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']));
}}}

to pluggable.php on wp-includes before the line

{{{
$phpmailer->FromName = ""WordPress"";
}}}


I found this fixed the issue."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.9	Mail	2.8.4	normal	fixed	needs-patch	janbrasna
