Comment (by jamieburchell):

 Just wanted to add myself to the list of people who can't fathom why this
 intentional change was made to purposely alter PHPMailer's default by not
 setting the envelope sender.

 Reading through the other thread, the gist seems to be "because it breaks
 some server setups" but it doesn't make sense not to set the proper
 headers.

 I have full control over the server/postfix setup I use to host my
 WordPress projects, with sender dependent relay and authentication
 settings. Without the proper envelope sender, the default (wrong) hostname
 is used.

 To please everyone, why not add the from address/name/envelope sender
 fields to the WordPress settings area?
