If you are hosted on Bluehost and you're using WordPress, you might have noticed the strange "from" address in the emails WordPress appears to be sending out. (they might look something like something@box123.bluehost.com) There is a very simple fix. The way Bluehost servers are setup, the address "wordpress@{YOURDOMAIN.COM}" needs to actually exist somehow in your account. Whether it be an actual email box, forwarder, autoresponder – either of those will work. However, do NOT set it up as an autoresponder that gives an error (that will completely shut down the emails going out). If you don't want people replying to "wordpress@{YOURDOMAIN.COM}" – you can just set up an autoresponder that says something like "Sorry – no one here"

If you don't like the "wordpress@yourdomain.com" email format either – you can change that address via a plugin like: wp-mailfrom. However, again – whatever address you set it to in there – still needs to exist in your account. So if you prefer to have the from emails be ilovewordpress@yourdomain.com; make sure there is a ilovewordpress@yourdomain.com email account, forwarder or autoresponder.
