#5007: Email notifications fail on hosted sites that check sender address

 Priority:  low       |   Milestone:  2.2.3    
Component:  General   |     Version:  2.2.3    
 Severity:  minor     |    Keywords:  phpmailer

 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.
