   Example migrated from Codex:

   add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
   function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from ) {
   	return 'WordPress Email System';
   }

   It is not necessary to call another method if you can use anonymous functions (PHP 5.3.0+):

   add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', function( $name ) {
   	return 'WordPress Email System';
   } );

   For subdomains why do we have to add:

   add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', function ( $email ) {
       return 'noreply@example.com';
   } );
   
   add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', function ( $name ) {
       return 'Sender Name';
   } );

   I didn’t know that international customers couldn’t send me messages for over a year T-T CF7 forms would just have a spinning mark. My German friend told me this. It’s for all subdomain sites not the main site. I’m glad I found this out now though.
