What is the Administration Email Address for in WordPress?
In the dashboard for your website, if you go to the General Settings section there is a setting where you put in an administration email address. The purpose of this is for WordPress to use when sending out emails related to the functionality of the website.

How to pick the right email address for the Administration Email option.
When you get an email from WordPress, it will come from this email address. We think it's important to choose the correct email address for your brand or company.
Ecommerce alerts, newsletters, password reset systems, security alerts, and other types of notifications most likely will use this email address as the “from” address.
We recommend that this email address is actively monitored for replies.
Many of our clients use administrative or marketing email addresses, something like hello@example.com, info@example.com, administrator@example.com, or contact@example.com. We DO NOT recommend using a personal or employee's email address for this.
Make sure you double-check!
When we build a website, we will use the correct email address based on the information we gathered from you, or we will discuss with you what the best course of action is.
Many developers and designers will leave their email address here, if we didn't build your website, make sure you check this as soon as you can to make sure WordPress is using the correct email address and you don't have an embarrassing client moment, or worse yet a lost sale.
