    See this forum post and this StackExchange post.

    Gmail automatically re-writes the from address with your proper Gmail address before it delivers your e-mail. Forging from addresses is a common spammer tactic and Gmail won’t allow fake from address with OAuth. You can however change the sender name.

    Perhaps what you want to do is set the reply-to header. Please see the FAQ:

    How can I get my email to show up with a different From: address?
    Google supports custom domains with the paid services Google Apps for Work/Government and the free services Google Apps for Education/Non-Profits/Free Edition.

    Otherwise, changing the sender address is not possible in OAuth 2.0 mode, and not recommended in Password (Plain, Login or CRAM-MD5) mode. At best, your email provider will re-write the correct email address or give you a connection error. At worst, your IP or entire domain will end up on a Spam blacklist.

    Instead, consider setting the reply-to header of the e-mail. This allows the email reply to be automatically addressed to a different email address. Contact Form 7 allows the reply-to header to be set.

    That’s not what I said.

    The Google solution is to use Google Apps for Work. That’s what I do and all my e-mail comes from jason -at- hendriks -dot- ca, because it is a Gmail account. What you can’t do is claim a non-Gmail domain is the sender of your Gmail when it isn’t. Gmail won’t allow it.

    If you’re not willing to pay Google, there are free services that offer custom domains, like Zoho Mail.

    You don’t need a tutorial, just use the Setup Wizard.

    Zoho’s mail settings are on their webpage.

    Outgoing Server Name: smtp.zoho.com
    Port: 465
    Security Type: SSL
    Require Authentication: Yes.
    Email address should match the email address/ aliases of the account.
