[wp-hackers] wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name

[William Canino]

Looking at the source of wp_mail() in pluggable.php (
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/3.0/wp-includes/pluggable.php
), I suspect another plugin or function is overriding wp_mail_from and
wp_mail_from_name on your site.  If nothing is overriding it and you
didn't make pass any headers to wp_mail, WordPress always sends the
message from "WordPress <wordpress at yourdomain.com>".
