 * Hello,
 * Until WordPress 5.7 update I was able to put the following snippet into my theme
   function.php to send the site emails through a different email address due to
   the strict filtering we have on our network.
 *     ```
       /*--------------------------------------------------------------
       	// Sender email address
       --------------------------------------------------------------*/
       function wpb_sender_email( $original_email_address ) {
       		return 'no-reply@my-company.net';
       }
       // Function to change sender name
       function wpb_sender_name( $original_email_from ) {
       		return 'My Company';
       }
       // Hooking up our functions to WordPress filters
       add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'wpb_sender_email' );
       add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'wpb_sender_name' );
       ```
   
 * But since WordPress 5.7 update if anyone tries to use the password reset on the
   login page they get the following error:
 * “Error: the email could not be sent. Your site may not be correctly configured
   to send emails.” message when they try to change their passwords.
 * When I remove the code from function.php the error message disappears but the
   email gets filtered on our network.
 * Can anyone think of a way I can get this to work?
 * Many thanks
