MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls



             \Mail::send('invoice', array(
                                'name' => $user_details->name,
                                'email' => $user_details->email,
                                'subject' =>'Order is placed',
                            ), function($message) use ($req){
                                $message->from($req->email,'Order');
                                $message->to('abc2020@gmail.com')->subject('Order is Placed');
                            });

Invoic is send in email but from address is same as to address

from:abc2020@gmail.com to:abc2020@gmail.com

What is changes in code so that from address is from $req->email..

Please check what is the value you are getting in your `$req` object. It might be the case that your `$req->email` is getting same email as your `abc2020@gmail.com`. Or try to change your `MAIL_USERNAME` value from .env and run `php artisan config:clear` — Jayant, Apr 06 '21 at 08:57

Google rewrites the From and Reply-To headers in messages you send via its SMTP service to values that relate to your Gmail account. So changing it in the codebase will make no difference.

If you need to modify the From and/or Reply-To addresses, you need to consider alternative SMTP services.
