Comment:

 Hi @zaffarn thank you for the feedback. I definitely see the validity of
 having the `from_email` filterable for Privacy requests.

 I'm sorry this ticket was raised in our team chat and I missed updating it
 afterwards.

 It was agreed to look into a filter for the reply-to and from email
 addresses as we felt filtering them specifically would be very helpful for
 organizations with a DPO as you mentioned.

 After reviewing some core implementations it appears the best way to
 accomplish this would be to introduce the email header as filterable and
 pass it along to wp_mail. As currently using the`wp_mail_from` and
 `wp_mail_from_name` would affect all email as it's unaware of the email
 being for a privacy request.

 Two coding examples of this; [[BR]]

 I'll look into this further when I have time.
