## Code

```php
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', function ( $email ) {
    $custom = ''; // For example 'hello@yourdomain.com'. Leave empty to keep the current address.

    return is_email( $custom ) ? $custom : $email;
} );

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', function ( $name ) {
    return 'WordPress' === $name ? wp_specialchars_decode( get_bloginfo( 'name' ), ENT_QUOTES ) : $name;
} );
```

## Notes

Use an address on your own domain so messages pass SPF and DKIM checks.
