Try:
add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, $email_obj ) {
$email_obj->set_from( "custom@example.com", "Custom Website Name" );
}, 10, 2 );

FYI wp_mail_from_name and wp_mail_from support are coming back in BuddyPress 2.5.3. Thanks to everyone’s feedback regarding this.
Is this problem causing BP emails to appear as text, for example:
reaster@uillinois.edu
Instead of as a mailto: link:
reaster@uillinois.edu
?
Same thing with BP images, see:

Sorry, this is how an email address is appearing on a profile page.
<a href="mailto:Peter.bensinger@bensingerdupont.com">Peter.bensinger@bensingerdupont.com</a>
When is BP 2.5.3 coming out?
The problem is the < and > are being escaped, so the image is output as:
<td class="data"><img src="http://thelincolnacademyofillinois.org/wp-content/uploads/profiles/16/peter-bensinger.jpg" alt="" /></td>
instead of
<td class="data"><img src="http://thelincolnacademyofillinois.org/wp-content/uploads/profiles/16/peter-bensinger.jpg" alt="" /></td>
I can’t get the escaped characters to appear in a way that reflects what BuddyPress is outputting to the screen.
add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, &$email_obj ) {
$email_obj->set_from( "noreply@mydomain.com", "Blog website" );
}, 10, 2 );
Using this returns 2 warnings for me.
Warning: Parameter 2 to {closure}() expected to be a reference, value given in …/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 525
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …/wp-includes/plugin.php:525) in …/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171
The mail still gets send but it won’t change the from email. I turned wp_mail on for now as I also don’t know how to change the bp mail, mail_from setting.
add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', '__return_true' );
@shanebp
Thanks for the code. It seems to have one problem, but I think I fixed it, it now works for me.
The code you provided:
add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, &$email_obj ) {
$email_obj->set_from( "custom@example.com", "Custom Website Name" );
}, 10, 2 );
This brings up this error right after signing up:
Warning: Parameter 2 to {closure}() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/####/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 525
Changing &$email_obj to $email_obj worked for me. The following code works:
add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, $email_obj ) {
$email_obj->set_from( "custom@example.com", "Custom Website Name" );
}, 10, 2 );
Thx @sm60. I’ve adjusted my answer and the codex entry.
Thanks for the code snippets.
Question, is there a way to change the reply-to field in sent emails? I’ve tried to add it as extra arguments on the same set_from method, and i have also tried set_reply_to, but neither worked. The sent from works perfectly, but the reply-to keeps showing the wordpress main email.
@rodolvertice I found a solution by copying @shanebp’s code and replacing ‘set_from’ with ‘set_reply_to’, as in:
add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, $email_obj ) {
$email_obj->set_reply_to( "custom@example.com", "Custom Website Name" );
}, 10, 2 );
