@Mike

edit line 375 in WordPress 3.0 . You also want to edit line 391

$from_email = 'wordpress@' . $sitename;

Cheers

awesome post! If you are looking to just change the name of the default sender from "WordPress" to something like "Mike" just edit line 352 of pluggable.php. change: $from_name = 'WordPress'; to $from_name = 'Mike';... As a side note, if you update wordpress, this change will be undone...so a more permanent solution would be to use a plugin. But for quick and easy, this is a viable solution.

Frank,

Awesome little script very easy to use.
FYI the function names are flipped.

//new name
fb_mail_from()
should be fb_mail_from_name()

//new email-address
fb_mail_from_name()
should be fb_mail_from()
