 * I’m trying to use WP Mail SMTP with bbpress notify with no success.
 * I want emails to be sent from a specific email address through SMTP and not just
   the email of an administrator as to help alleviate spam issues.

 * bbpress-notify-nospam uses `wp_mail()` function to send out the messages, and
   sets a default ‘From’ address.
 * You can modify the headers by hooking into the `bbpnns_extra_headers` filter 
   to either modify the ‘From’ or remove it altogether (which should let WP Mail
   SMTP do its thing).
 *     ```
       $headers = sprintf("From: %s <%s>\r\n", get_option('blogname'), get_bloginfo('admin_email'));
       $headers = apply_filters('bbpnns_extra_headers', $headers, $recipients, $subject, $body);
       ```
   
 * Example code:
 *     ```
       function remove_bbpnns_header( $headers )
       {
           return null;
       }
       add_filter('bbpnns_extra_headers', 'remove_bbpnns_header');
       ```

 * Thanks! The email headers look the way they should now and sending via SMTP so
   hoping everyone gets the notifications.
