I’m using the Post SMTP Plugin, but I manually send email via the wp_mail() function.
The gmail client shows the correct From:, but when I switch to outlook or another email client, shows the different Sender: (the one that has been set up in the Post SMTP From: setting)
I have tried these filters, but only the wp_mail_from_name works:
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', create_function('', 'return sanitize_email("<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5125342225113033277f3336">[email protected]</a>"); ') );
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', create_function('', 'return "Test Testov"; ') );
How can I force-change that sender?
EDIT:
Paul G., in Gmail I see this: from: Correct Name <[email protected]>
and in another email client this:
From: Correct Name
Sender: [email protected] <—- This is wrong.

Method 1
First Disable PostSMTP plugin and delete if not used anymore it should cleanup.
Then in functions.php add the following lines
// Function to change email address
function sender_email( $original_email_address ) {
return '<a href="https://getridbug.com/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="780c1115560b15110c10381d00191508141d561b1715">[email protected]</a>';
}
// Function to change sender name
function sender_name( $original_email_from ) {
return 'Tim Smith';
}
// Hooking up our functions to WordPress filters
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'sender_email' );
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'sender_name' );

Method 2
Switched the Mailer Type from PostSMTP to PHPMailer and it fixed the issue.
