Set From-Email address for automated emails

I'd like to set something like "noreply@example.com" as the sender-address for automated emails. This would include signup-verification and notifications of all sorts.

One can already set "general", "support" and "billing" Email-address in the Admin "Global configuration" page. This could just be added there?

        I think this would make sense for all automatically generated emails. Everything that is not directly the result of a user-interaction of which it is the intention that an email will be sent.
        (So an exceptions would probably be: contact-form).

        I do not know all the occasions on which emails are sent. Here is a grep for "app_Mail::createMessage" over the skadate 1365-code:

        =========================================================
        $ grep -rl "app_Mail::createMessage" skadate-7.0.1365
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/inc/class.admin_membership.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/inc/class.admin_profile.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/inc/fnc.auth.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/inc/fnc.scheduler.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/mail_scheduler_tpl.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/mass_mailing.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/profile_list.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/admin/rsp/profile.rsp.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/affiliate/inc/fnc.affiliate.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/Affiliate.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/EmailVerification.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/EventService.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/Forum.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/FriendNetwork.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/Groups.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/Invitation.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/JoinProfile.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/MailBox.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/Membership.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Apps/Profile.app.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Forms/MemberFeedback.form.php
        skadate-7.0.1365/internals/Forms/SendProfile.form.php
        =========================================================

        My first guess is that only the following occurences are exceptions:
        - internals/Forms/MemberFeedback.form.php (for the recipient-address)
        - admin/inc/class.admin_* (maybe?)

        On the other hand it would maybe also be an option just to specify special email-addresses as the recipients for the contact-form. Since there you definitely *don't* want an undeliverable email-address, while one might want that for automated outgoing emails.

        Sincerely
