This last problem that you described (the mail that admin gets) is my problem too. "Nobody" in your case (and "www-data" in my case) comes from the mail sender program that PHP uses, it depens on the configuration of your server.

This happens when an email is sent without "Sender" specified, the mail program automatically puts something like this. This probably means that eZ dosen't set the Sender when sending this emails to the admin, but I would like to know if eZ can be configured in a way that it sets the Sender.

Can anyone give an answer to this?

When in doupt, get dirty and hack the kernel:

I got it working, the problem is that the /kernel/user/register.php doesn't allow for a sender in the registrationfeedback, so I just hacked it to include a sender and it worked.

Look in /kernel/user/register.php and replace the block of code below:

$feedbackTypes = $ini->variableArray( 'UserSettings', 'RegistrationFeedback' );
            foreach ( $feedbackTypes as $feedbackType )
            {
                switch ( $feedbackType )
                {
                    case 'email':
                    {
                        $mail = new eZMail();
                        $tpl->resetVariables();
                        $tpl->setVariable( 'user', $user );
                        $tpl->setVariable( 'object', $object );
                        $tpl->setVariable( 'hostname', $hostname );
                        $templateResult =& $tpl->fetch( 'design:user/registrationfeedback.tpl' );
                        $feedbackReceiver = $ini->variable( 'UserSettings', 'RegistrationEmail' );
                        if ( !$feedbackReceiver )
                            $feedbackReceiver = $ini->variable( "MailSettings", "AdminEmail" );

                        $subject = ezi18n( 'kernel/user/register', 'New user registered' );
                        if ( $tpl->hasVariable( 'subject' ) )
                            $subject =& $tpl->variable( 'subject' );
                        if ( $tpl->hasVariable( 'email_receiver' ) )
                            $feedbackReceiver =& $tpl->variable( 'email_receiver' );

                        $mail->setReceiver( $feedbackReceiver );
                        $mail->setSubject( $subject );
                        $mail->setBody( $templateResult );
                        $mailResult = eZMailTransport::send( $mail );
                    } break;
                    default:
                    {
                        eZDebug::writeWarning( "Unknown feedback type '$feedbackType'", 'user/register' );
                    }
                }
            }

with this block:

$feedbackTypes = $ini->variableArray( 'UserSettings', 'RegistrationFeedback' );
            foreach ( $feedbackTypes as $feedbackType )
            {
                switch ( $feedbackType )
                {
                    case 'email':
                    {
                        $mail = new eZMail();
                        $tpl->resetVariables();
                        $tpl->setVariable( 'user', $user );
                        $tpl->setVariable( 'object', $object );
                        $tpl->setVariable( 'hostname', $hostname );
                        $templateResult =& $tpl->fetch( 'design:user/registrationfeedback.tpl' );
// hack to get email sender into rego feedback
            $emailSender = $ini->variable( 'MailSettings', 'EmailSender' );
            if ( !$emailSender )
                $emailSender = $ini->variable( 'MailSettings', 'AdminEmail' );
            $mail->setSender( $emailSender );
// end hack
                        $feedbackReceiver = $ini->variable( 'UserSettings', 'RegistrationEmail' );
                        if ( !$feedbackReceiver )
                            $feedbackReceiver = $ini->variable( "MailSettings", "AdminEmail" );

                        $subject = ezi18n( 'kernel/user/register', 'New user registered' );
                        if ( $tpl->hasVariable( 'subject' ) )
                            $subject =& $tpl->variable( 'subject' );
                        if ( $tpl->hasVariable( 'email_receiver' ) )
                            $feedbackReceiver =& $tpl->variable( 'email_receiver' );

                        $mail->setReceiver( $feedbackReceiver );
                        $mail->setSubject( $subject );
                        $mail->setBody( $templateResult );
                        $mailResult = eZMailTransport::send( $mail );
                    } break;
                    default:
                    {
                        eZDebug::writeWarning( "Unknown feedback type '$feedbackType'", 'user/register' );
                    }
                }
            }

And it should work, I hate hacking to core but this looks like the only way to get this working.

Cheers!
