Hi MyBB, whenever someone receives an e-mail from my forum (Like for a topic reply), the sender's email is:
(unknown sender) and when I click the details, it says that it came from my hostgator account gator####.hostgator.com.

How do i change that so that it would be my site: RuneScape Grounds - The Underground RuneScape?

My website here: http://runegrounds.com/index.php
contact your host and ask if any special characters to be used with from mail address ..
AND if you are using php mail then try SMTP
I'll try and contact them.
Also, how do I know if I'm using php mail?
Sorry, I'm new to this XD
check here : admin panel --> configuration --> settings --> Mail Settings
Okay, now what do I put in the following:
SMTP hostname
and
SMTP port
if you use gmail account then

SMTP hostname : smtp.gmail.com
SMTP port : 465
SMTP username : [email protected]
(change above to your actual gmail account)
SMTP password : your password used for above gmail account
SMTP Encryption Mode : SSL encryption
Mail Logging : log everything
Add message ID in mail headers : put No if you are on a shared host
In cPanel, click "Email accounts", then, next to the email you want to use, click More>Configure email client. then look under manual settings.

E.g.

Mail Server Username: webamster+example.net
Incoming Mail Server: mail.example.net
Incoming Mail Server: (SSL) server.hostgator.com
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.example.net (server requires authentication) port 26
Outgoing Mail Server: (SSL) server.hostgator.com (server requires authentication) port 465
Supported Incoming Mail Protocols: POP3, POP3S (SSL/TLS), IMAP, IMAPS (SSL/TLS)
Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols: SMTP, SMTPS (SSL/TLS)
