Ok, so what address is being used at present?  Your personal email, somebody else's, one you don't even recognise,...?

and does that mean anything to you?  Does it have any relevance?  The software must be picking it up from somewhere  :-\

Odds are is the server your host uses to send the email out. I doubt you can change it without using a third party mail system (like GMail) to handle sending outbound mail.
