Why do e-mails from my webpage come from < username > @ < host## >

    I got this answer from my ISP, but I have no ideas where to change the code??

    This is because our servers require you (or your script) to use a properly formatted, valid From: header in your email. If the From: header is not formatted correctly, empty or invalid our system will change the from address to be <username>@<host##>.hostmonster.com. To stop this, you must change the script you are using to correctly use a valid From header.

    Examples of headers that should work would be:
    From: (email visible only to moderators and staff)
    From: <(email visible only to moderators and staff)>
    From: “name” <(email visible only to moderators and staff)>

    Examples of headers that will NOT work:
    From: “(email visible only to moderators and staff)”
    From: user @ domain.com

    Best bet would be to ask in the other forums since this is the forum for blogs hosted at wordpress.com only and not something users here can change! :)
