 * Hello,
 * I’ve setup WP-Email and tried to use it with Sendmail. However I looked inside
   the code and the $mail->Sender is never set.
 * Could it been added in the options screen please? It would help to add the flag“-
   f” to mail/sendmail without hacking the code 😉
 * Thanks!

 * I hacked a bit the plugin to make this work as I wanted to:
 *     ```
       apply_filters('wp_email_send_pre', $mail, $post);
   
       // Send The Mail if($mail->Send()) {
       if($mail->Send()) {
       ```
   
 * I added a filter before sending so I can deal how I want.
    Then I’ve plugged 
   my hook on it:
 *     ```
       add_filter('wp_email_send_pre', 'wp_email_authsmtp_fix', 10, 2);
       function wp_email_authsmtp_fix($mail, $post)
       {
         $email_smtp = get_option('email_smtp');
   
         foreach (array('yourname', 'youremail') as $arg)
         {
           $$arg = isset($_POST[$arg]) ? strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($_POST[$arg]))) : '';
         }
   
         $mail->AddReplyTo($youremail, $yourname);
         $mail->Sender = $mail->From = $email_smtp['username'];
   
         return $mail;
       }
       ```
