PHPmailer gmail 'from' is gmail account

Question

I\'m trying to send a mail with PHPmailer and gmail. But when I send a mail its from my gmail account instead of no-reply. How do I set no-reply as from?

Code I have

Answer 1

There are two options I would recommend trying:

1. Log in to the Google Apps mail account for myaccount@web.com, go to Settings, then Accounts, then Send mail as, and ensure that no-reply@web.com has been validated. I haven't tested this, but this should allow to send mail from no-reply@web.com, rather than from no-reply@web.com on behalf of myaccount@web.com.

2. Actually create a user on Google Apps with the username no-reply@web.com, and send email through that account. If myaccount@web.com needs a copy, you could always BCC the address and setup a filter on no-reply@web.com to forward any failures to myaccount@web.com.

Answer 2

You can't do it. Just imagine sending mail prompting to reply with your bank account credentials from an address validation@yourbank.com.

To have no-reply address you must have an access to the mail server in @your.domain (not gmail) and create such account there, then send emails using this account.
