How can I set the Sender's address in Jenkins?

Question

I\'m sending mail from Jenkins to an anonymous SMTP relay internally. That relay then securely sends mail to exchange online via TLS on port 587. The transport works perfectly,

If you need to do this without using the jenkins UI (for instance in automating a jenkins setup) - you can do so with a groovy script.

import jenkins.model.*

def jenkinsLocationConfiguration = JenkinsLocationConfiguration.get()

jenkinsLocationConfiguration.setAdminAddress("[your admin name] <[your admin email address]>")
// example format -> .setAdminAddress("Jane Doe ")    

jenkinsLocationConfiguration.save()

Do note: I did not write this script (although I have tested it and it works), all credit to Peter Halliday and his website with other helpful groovy scripts here.
