Are you trying to modify the from domain for an entire site, or just
your personal email address? The first requires modifying the
configuration of your local SMPT server (Sendmail, Postfix, etc) and
the second requires setting up the account in your mail client.
(Thunderbird, Pine, Elm, Evolution, etc.)

Changing the name the SMPT server says mail is from is common
because the mail server host name may not match the domain name.
(mail.infinity-ltd.com for mail from infinity-ltd.com.)
