How to set up Email for the Wordpress One Click Install.

Hi,

I recently created a Wordpress install using the “Wordpress One Click Install” app.

Unfortunately, on this version of Wordpress the only way for other users to register themselves is via an “confirmation email” flow, which in itself, is okay, but the emails aren’t being delivered.

I’m unfamiliar with how Wordpress configures email servers tbh, but from some googling, it seems to fall back to PHP’s mail() function. I installed a plugin to check this, and it verifies it’s using sendmail on the server.

I checked /var/log/mail.log, and see the sent emails, but they seem to be rejected by gmail.

Also, I would rather the emails be send from the proper domain (currently the logs mention being sent from my personal email address that I used for the root/admin account on Wordpress).

Any guidance appreciated!

Thanks
