Add branding to the WordPress system emails

[TimBHowe]

So by default all emails sent using the wp_mail functions, such as new users emails, have the default sender name as "WordPress" and the default sender email address as [email protected]

I suggest we add the following to the base_functions file to allow for banded names:

// Update WordPresses wp_mail from address
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'custom_wp_mail_from' );
function custom_wp_mail_from( $original_email_address ){
    //Make sure the email is from the same domain
    //as your website to avoid being marked as spam.
    return get_option('admin_email');
}

// Update WordPresses wp_mail from name
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from ){
    return get_option('blogname');
}

We should also discuss how we can keep the admin_email for the site as [email protected] but allow a banded email, exmaple [email protected], to be used.

We need to add an admin panel to to allow from email and name to be set and tested.
