Question
How do I make emails send from the correct address?

Currently, emails sent with sendmail (using CodeIgniter’s email class) are being sent from noreply@d1stkfactory. Not only is this a weird looking email address—it causes the emails to end up in spam every time.
I set the from address in the code but it still sends from noreply@d1stkfactory.
I found this question: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/debian-configuring-sendmail-and-php-mail-cannot-change-from-address
The answer on it says to change the default hostname in /etc/mailname. It was indeed set to “d1stkfactory” so I changed it to the correct domain, gifavs.com. I restarted sendmail and it still sends from noreply@d1stkfactory.
Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Does that fix it?
