to send email with different 'from' email address using gmail smtp server in django

1.3k Views Asked by At

I want to send an email to users with different from field values using smtp gmail server from the django app. I am able to send the mail successfully to users but the from field does not take the value that I provide in send_mail() but instead takes the EMAIL_HOST_USER value defined in settings.py

From field value should take any domain email address i.e.

  a mail from: [email protected] or .com 
     or  from: [email protected] 
     or  so on 

How can I achieve this behavior? Please help. I am new to using django and email functionality.

You cannot forge an email using Google's SMTP server. They will keep on using the current user's information (the login credentials you supplied). If you want to "change"/forge the email header, use your own email server/SMTP
