How to Change From-address When Using Gmail Smtp Server

change sender address when sending mail through gmail in c#

Gmail doesn't allow you to change the FROM to something different than your gmail account.

It doesn't matter what you use, they over-write it, before they relay it on. This prevent spamming/spoofing.

When using Gmail for SMTP, can you set a different from address?

gmail doesn't allow you to use random From addresses. You have to add and validate the address you'd like to use in the gmail settings:

Settings -> Accounts -> Send mail as -> Add another email address you own

No, gmail does not allow you to set arbitrary sender addresses. It does allow you to define a limited number of preset aliases in your account settings, but you can't set random addresses at the point of sending. If you do, it will just ignore it and use your account address instead, as you're seeing. This is mentioned in the PHPMailer troubleshooting guide.
