    My forms auto confirmations are emailed using a default email address and name.
    I’d like to change it. In “Core Form Admin / Email Options” there is no option to do this.

    How and where can I do this? I think I clicked through all the options and I haven’t found anything ??

    You can set it in “Admin Email Message Options”.

    It seems it doesn’t work ??
    Maybe because I’m using “Postman SMTP” Plugin and it sends it through my Gmail account.

    But… I set the Sender Name in Postman SMTP Plugin and it works when I send the test email. CForms seems to ignore this setting and the email gets sent with my bare gmail address in the FROM field ??

    Postman will honour the From field set by the creator of the email. The from field contains the From address and an optional name like this:

    [email protected]
Jason <[email protected]>

    Some plugins, like contact forms, set the From field to the email address of the visitor instead.

    Visitor <[email protected]>

    Servers like Mandrill accept this behaviour. Servers like Gmail see this as Spoofing and do not accept it. They will revert the from address back to your own like this:

    Visitor <[email protected]>

    The Session Transcript in Postman’s Email Log (Tools > Email Log) will show exactly what was sent to the server.
