I’m currently editing the “Email Registration Approved Template”.
I would like to change the from field to be the company name “Buck Institute” instead of “Webserver”, when I change the “from” field on the template it only changes the “Reply-to” email and not the “from” email.
example below:
from: Webserver <Webserver@buckinstitute.org>
reply-to: Buck Institute Events <Events@buckinstitute.org>
also when i attempt to change the “from” field, it gives me an error:
An error has occurred:
The From field has at least one string that is not a valid email address record. Valid emails are in the format: "Name <email@something.com>" or "email@something.com" and multiple emails can be separated by a comma.
even when that’s the exact string i’m attempting to use “Buck Institute <webserver@buckinstitute.org>”

Hi there,
Within EE’s code it sets the FROM and REPLY-TO headers with the exact same value:
$this->_ensure_has_from_email_address();
$from = $this->_from;
$headers = array(
'From:' . $from,
'Reply-To:' . $from,
'Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8',
);
Which means if the above is being changed to Webserver <Webserver@buckinstitute.org>, it’s happening outside of Event Espresso after it has passed the email over to wp_mail() to do its thing.
How is your site set up to send email? I’m assuming using your host mail server? No SMTP plugins etc?
Who is your host?

you’re right, looks like it was being changed with the SMTP plugin, thank you for the help!
