 * I have an issue related to email notifications since I moved to a new Brazilian
   host due to difficulties of host support. Actually, my host is the best of all
   in Brazil (Locaweb).
 * Every time I need to upgrade WP, WP stops sending notification emails. The only
   way to make it work, is installing the plugin WP-MAIL-SMTP, creating a specific
   email account for this purpose and making a modification to the file “/public_html/
   wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php” as described below:
 *     ```
       protected function smtpSend($header, $body) {
       (...)
   
            if ('' == $this->Sender) {
                 $smtp_from = $this->From;
            } else {
                 $smtp_from = $this->Sender;
            }
            //Modification (Begin) - Line of code added
            $smtp_from = "contato@emailaccountdomain.com.br
            //Modification (End) - Line of code added
   
       (...)
       ```
   
 * Note that, PHP function mail() is activated on the host and working as well.

 * WordPress uses the registered e-mail Settings> General to send notifications.
   The registered email there has the same domain of your site and is a valid email?
   For example, the same email that you include this core file of WordPress?
 * A note, I would not say Locaweb is the best hosting company in Brazil, the real,
   if you search for e-mail sending errors in WordPress will see that the vast majority
   occurs Locaweb.

 * Este é o fórum em brasileiro e deve conversar aqui em português.
