Django default_from_email name

Question

I am looking to add a name to my default_from_email address in Django and wanted to know whether you do this through the settings.py file?

you have your different options.

DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL
EMAIL_HOST
EMAIL_PASSWORD
...

but the email result still ends in from: noreply@mydomain.com and I would like to change this into My Domain instead.

IS there any reason why Django requires EMAIL_FROM setting to be set, but in the same time only DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL is being used? – The Godfather Nov 15 '17 at 09:02
@TheGodfather Which version that django requires EMAIL_FROM? I have looked at the documentation https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings since version 1.8 until 3.1 (now), that EMAIL_FROM settings not found. – aijogja Mar 22 '21 at 11:59
@aijogja it was 3 years ago, I don't even remember =) But as my comment got a few upvotes, I assume I was not the only one getting this inconsistency. Maybe it was fixed in the meantime, maybe it was some undocumented behavior, who knows... – The Godfather Mar 22 '21 at 16:08
