All is working OK.
When a user recieve a warning or expiry mail, the sender adress is the [site user name in the server]@[host company web].
for example: instead of admin@mysite.com the sender adress is site_user_name@myhost.com.

I saw that I can define BCC adresses but did not see an option for defining the sender adress.

If not exist, can you please add this feature?

thanks.

The email address used by Auto Expire is the default site email address, which is retrieved in the drupal_mail() function. That means that Drupal uses the email address that was entered on the 'site information' form at /admin/settings/site-information. If there is no site email address stored (which would be an edge-case, because the email field is required during setup), Drupal falls back on the apache/php server configuration using ini_get().

If you have entered the correct email address at /admin/settings/site-information, but still receive mails sent from another address, please check if you see the same behavior with other emails, like email sent from /user/password. If so, you probably have to contact your hosting provider about this problem.

Thanks,
I made the required change in the PHP.INI file.
Checked it with password renew and the sender address is now OK.

The site mail address was set correctly during site first installation.
I did a change ONLY to the PHP.INI so the cause for the problem is still there...

I think that if there will be a possibility to set a sender address manually (like the BCC address) it would add more flexibility to this module.
One may want to have some sender mail addresses and not one for all mails.

Thanks for your feedback. Personally, I don't really see the need for a sender address setting, but patches are always welcome. I'm marking this as "won't fix" for now, but feel free to re-open if you want to help get this feature in.
