Bug in woocommerce FROM email address field - address not being used - email

HELP! I can find no way to report a bug in woocommerce. The issue is that the emails being sent are coming from an address OTHER than the one specified in the "From" Address field. It's not even close. The specified email is me#mydomain.com and the new account email (for example) is showing as coming from sales#someotherdomain.us which is not entered in WordPress or WooCommerce anywhere. The only tie the two domains have is that they are both hosted on the same server.
How can I change the FROM address to my own? (the one entered in the "From" Address field?)

There are two places you need to set the from address:
Settings -> General -> Email Address
and
WooCommerce -> Settings -> Emails -> "From Address"
If changing them both do not work, then you may need to install an SMTP plugin so that you have more control over the way WordPress sends e-mails. WP Mail SMTP before if that helps.

Not getting Order emails copies with personal to my Gmail custom email Magento

I have a custom gmail domain (myself#customdom.com) and I have set on backend to receive order copies in that email but I am not receiving them. Now, If I add a normal gmail account (myself#gmail.com) it works.
myself#customdom.com --> FAILS
myyself#gmail.com --> WORKS
I have tried some solutions but they don't seem to work. What is blocking the emails to get to my custom emails? Any help?
Thanks.
Are you using customdom.com as the domain name your Magento store is sitting on?
i.e sales#customdom.com is the "FROM" email address for orders and myself#customdom.com is "TO" address
If so I would ensure you have a SPF record set on your domain name as this email is mostly likely being added as spam.
This is a common issue where the web server is trying to "spoof" your email address as a sender and when you try to email yourself, its marked as spam.

Can Thunderbird choose the correct account?

I have a question about sending a mail with mozilla thunderbird. I have several email-addresses and i want thunderbird to choose a certain account when i send an email to a certain recipient.
For example I have two accounts: mail#myaddress.com and mail#anotheraddress.com
If I send an email thunderbird uses per default mail#myaddress.com. So far so good. Sometimes I have to send an email to companies, where I have to use mail#anotheraddress.com as sender address. If I forget to switch the account theses companies get mails from the wrong mail address. Is there a way to connect a recipient emailaddress to an certain account?
You can compose email using command line:
"preselectid" : an identifier for the "From" identity to choose from the menu*
note that you cannot directly specify an e-mail address but need to find the identity key
for example, "preselectid=id2" would select the identity #2

How to set from mail address other than smtp authentication mail in java mail

I am specifying "FROM" address usinf setFrom() method, But i still receive mails having "FROM" address of SMTP authentication mail id. and want to set the "FROM" address dynamically. which keeps changing. What is the RFC282 standard to achieve this.
The solution from google is this
Gmail lets you send messages with another of your email addresses listed as the sender instead of your Gmail address. This feature helps you manage multiple accounts from the Gmail interface; it works only if you already own the email account linked to the alternate address
Select the Accounts and Import tab (or Accounts tab, if you're using Google Apps).
Under Send mail as, click Add another email address.
In the 'Email address' field, enter your name and alternate email address.
Choose one of two options:
Use Gmail's servers to send your mail (this is easier to set up)
Use your other email provider's SMTP servers (we recommend this option for professional mail accounts or domains). Note for Google Apps users: Depending on your domain2 type, this feature may be disabled by default. Talk to your administrator if you have any questions.
If you choose to use Gmail's servers:
Click Next Step >> and then click Send Verification. Gmail will send a verification message to your other email address to confirm that you own it.
Open your other account and either click the link in the message Gmail sent or enter the confirmation code in the Accounts section of your Gmail settings.

The overhead involved is that any new from address needs a alias to be set in Gamil authentication mail account. Its not suits for enterprise salable app.
Other solution is You can install a mail server (hmailServer). This server allows you to set the custom from address
If any body knows other solutions, please suggest me.
It's up to your mail server. Often mail servers will prevent you from using any From address other than your actual login name. This helps prevent spam. Depending on your mail server, there may be ways to convince it that you should be allowed to use other From addresses.
These are two different things that you are talking about:
The id that you are mentioning is part of smtp handshaking protocol which usually is mapped to "Return-path" field in mime-header.
Whereas the id that comes in "FROM" field which actually is displayed in mail-list is been appended by the mail server when u compose the mail.
So if you can modify the mime header then make sure that "FROM:" field contains the id that yuou want to set not the smtp authentication id.
btw its rfc822
Have worked for rediffmail technical team in order to develop and enhance smtp, pop and imap protocols
Its depends on your mail server and configuration setting

Google Apps: E-mails sent to user are also being sent to domain's secondary contact e-mail address

I have two admin users on my newly created domain.
E-mails sent to one are also being sent to the e-mail address set in Domain Settings > General > Contact Information > Secondary E-mail Address. This does not happen to e-mails sent to the other user (the primary domain contact).
I have tried unchecking 'Inherit routes' for this user but it has not made a difference (I waited over five hours between unchecking it and trying again).
Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks very much.
I called Google Apps support and was able to resolve this.
It turns out the person who initially created the domain set up a "receiving routing rule" to automatically forward all e-mails for all users to his personal address.
Receiving routing rules can be adjusted via the Google Apps cPanel. Go to Settings, then Email Settings, then down to Receiving Routing, click Edit, and check your rules to ensure the 'Add more recipients' checkbox is unchecked (mine was checked and had the personal e-mail address set) or simply delete the rule if no other options are set.
