Change email address that's used during member registration?

In the Members App, a 'new member notification' email is sent to the moderator email address. Once the new member is approved, a 'welcome' email is sent to the new member's email address. Both these emails appear to be sent from the email address of the Perch Runway Primary Admin.

Can this be changed and, if so, where is that change made? I've yet to find the right place in any of the Admin panels or the template code.

Hello Graham,

Have you changed the relevant configurations in config.php?

define('PERCH_EMAIL_FROM', 'example@example.com');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Example');

No, those are still set to the Primary Admin - because we would really want all 'Perch Admin' emails coming from the administrator. Whereas, the Member App emails should really be coming from the Member Moderator. However, if there's no specific place to change the sending address for the Members App, then it looks like we will have to change the config settings to get what we need?

I've changed the config.php file and that gets around the problem short term. Not ideal, but it solves the problem for now (a new site that's just gone live and up to 400 members expected to sign up in the next few days). Presumably no one knows of a setting that's specifically available for controlling the Members App's sending email address?
