    I host my friends blog on a subdomain. Whenever someone comments on a post it’s set up to send an email notification. In her general settings it has her email and in discussion settings it has both email when anyone comments and a comment is help in moderation.

    For some reason it is sending this notification to a bazaar address which is (not exactly because I don’t want spam) [email protected] which I then receive at my gmail account.
    I am not entirely sure why I receive this email at my gmail account, perhaps because it is what I signed up with and it’s my “default” email.

    Anyway, anyone know why it is doing this and what I can do to fix it?

    Sorry, just wanted to add that I just realised that it is also doing this for my own blog as well. I didn’t notice because I have all my email accounts routed to the one email.

    It is sending the emails to the email address that was used for the first user created. My guess is you used SimpleScripts to install this wordpress. You can change this by going to the dashboard, click Settings on the left, then General on the left. There is a setting there for the Email Address.

    Now it comes from [email protected] because that is what your php is set to use. You can edit your php.ini to replace that with an email address you want. Here is a tutorial from Justhost on that:

    You would need to setup a php.ini for each domain/subdomain if you want to use different email addresses for each.

    No, as I said already her email is in the Settings>General>Email

    Its not a very good tutorial on setting up the php.ini, it doesn’t even tell me where to find that file. I found it, added the suggested change and that didn’t work. It also says I need to install a plugin called Mail from, I did that and it didn’t work.

    But I shouldn’t have to, the whole point of having these easily installed scripts is so that I don’t have to stuff around with any coding. I think this problem must have started when they got rid of Fantastico because I never had this problem before.
