I have set up the django smtp backend to use gmail smtp. and it sends email perfectly, But there is one problem.
The authentication I use for gmail smtp is different then the from_email, still when I receive an email I see the from email id as the smtp auth email.
example: my settings are as follow:
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER= '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD= 'password_for_something_at_gmail_com'
and to send an email I did
send_mail(subject=subject, message="test", from_email="[email protected]",
recipient_list=to, fail_silently=False)
this works but the received email does not show
from : [email protected]
it shows
from: [email protected]
How do I make sure it shows [email protected].
NOTE: somedomain.com is connected with google apps and mydomain.com
is alias with it
and [email protected] is just an fwd email id.
