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: xyz@yahoo.co.in or .com 
     or  from: abc@hotmail.com 
     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

  • if I don't want to use any smtp server, can I achieve the functionality that I want in django by some other way? – shubhanjalee Jun 09 '15 at 09:44

    I am not fully sure but most of the time, pyhton usually runs over a linux environment which have a built-in mail sending feature. (depends on how the OS was installed) – Vhortex Jun 10 '15 at 01:01
