You might want to open /conf/_advanced.php and change the bit that makes a fake email addy.

$notify_from = $instance_name.'@'.preg_replace( '/^www\./i', '', $basehost );

I don't know if that's the answer, but if you try it you will :)

Thanks but that did not work.

All this stuff should be an option in the dashboard maybe someone should write a plugin.

What emails are being sent (or no longer being sent) using the strange email addy? Oh and what version of b2evo are you using that is having this trouble?

* agree on dashboard (almost). Disagree on plugin. CORE behavior is to notify under certain circumstances. Stuff like that should be properly handled by the core. If not the dashboard then please only ONE file that might need to be edited for installation-specific bits.

Nothing not the contacts , not the notification that someone has posted a comment.

It may not require this at all as my hosting company sent me the following can anyone help me with this.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us back.

If you would like to set the "Return-Path" for the email messages sent by your script, you would need to edit your PHP script to use the additional header. Here is a link to more information on doing this:
