[Plugin: WP Mail SMTP] SMTP test e-mail not working with Gmail

What error message are you seeing when you send a test email? You’ll probably find the answer in the previously asked questions here.

i am using gmail and it works

Hi, Callum. Great plugin!

However, when sending the test mail, the received email has From email address as the gmail one used when authenticating, not the one I defined in the settings. The From name stays as defined in settings.

Bug or feature?

@arikontiainen: Neither bug nor feature, Gmail changes the from address to stop people sending “forged” emails through their system.

I am also having this problem, but I wonder if I set things up wrong. Sending to a yahoo address, I get the test email immediately.

Oh, and test message reports success. No error.
