On line 75 (valid on Word­Press 2.7.1 - 2.8.7) and edit, “root@localhost.com” to the address you’de like to appear in admin­is­tra­tive emails, ie. user@yourdomain.com. You’ll also want to change your From­Name, on line 81, and your email address on line 88. Sim­ply fill the empty quotes.

   * @var string
   */
  var $FromName          = 'Root User';
 
  /**

   * will be sent via -f to sendmail or as 'MAIL FROM' in smtp mode.
   * @var string
   */
  var $Sender            = '';
