I have the admin account setup and in all other cases the correct admin email address is being used but from Virtuemart instead of admin@domain.com being used it is using my cPanel username ...
username@rsb19.rhostbh.com (this is the server on Bluehost)
can't quite figure this out as the newsletter and other notifications come from the correct address.
Well... VM does uses the Joomla config itself... but let me ask you this... do you have the correct details in the shop config in the backend.

Yes I do and when I update the order and a message is sent it is still sent from a non email address... cpanel username @ hosting server .com this does not make since as it works fine everywhere else.
what is strange is that when a shopper registers the email come from the admin@domain.com but the invoice notification comes from cpanel @ server name .com
this is very strange
Indeed. This is really strange.
part of the problem may be that I am using Google docs for the email and so my host said that I can use send mail and modify my php.ini file by adding this
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f'user@domain.com'
where the addition to the sendmail path is -f'user@domain.com' = to an email account that is setup on the server...
Problem solved.
