Hello again.
I am trying to setup my email. I have set up the email and it works fine through smtp/gmail.

However the issue that I am having is that the sent emails are coming through from my main gmail email account.

I did fill out the fields for the from address as admin@website.com

I sent out a test mail and still my actual email shows.

I created a new user … welcome email comes from my actual gmail account.

if I am not wrong then the from address is supposed to send the email from what I put in there right?

if it is supposed to … its not for whatever reason.

If you have any information on this I would appreciate it … thank you.

I don’t use gmail but it could be that gmail replaces by default the main address of your gmail-account and doesn’t allow the use of other addresses.

ah ok … is there another email provider or providers that you do know that works with that feature?

If you want to use sender@mydomain.com, use the mail server of mydomain.com.

OK I’ll look into that. I’m not sure if there is a mail service on the domain host or not. I’ll check that out. Thank you
