There is a wordpress installation installed on a cpanel account. They have a contact form on that wordpress installation that is sending using the php mail function. It is supposed to be sending like this:

noreply@cpanel_example.com -> info@cpanel_example.com


But it is sending like this, using the servers hostname with the cpanel username and the email account name.

cpanel_example@server.whm_example.com -> info@cpanel_example.com


What is causing this?

*Edit

So I added a plugin in WordPress which allowed the php mail function to send from wordpress@cpanel_example.com. I don't know how it did this though. So I feel the issue is with the default php mail function sender address.

*Edit 2 (example php code)

<?php
$to = 'info@cpanel_example.com';
$subject = 'The test for php mail function';
$message = 'Hello';
$headers = 'From: noreply@cpanel_example.com' . "rn" .
'Reply-To: noreply@bcttransfers.com' . "rn" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);


*Edit 3 (wordpress plugin used that allowed the emails to be sent from wordpress@cpanel_example.com)
wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/
SETTINGS
From Email: BLANK (default address used: wordpress@bcttransfers.com)
Mailer: Default (none)
Return path: checked
