Python sends email from another address with gmail

Question

I am trying to make the email look like it came from a specific user in our company for an automated customer email. For some reason, I can't change "FROM" to look like anyone other than the account I log into gmail with.

I know that a PHP mail library can address the FROM address without any problems, but for some reason I cannot in python. We have an enterprise gmail account if that helps.

Here is the code I'm using

import smtplib from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.MIMEImage import MIMEImage def sendFollowupEmail(html): msg = MimeText('body') msg['Subject'] = 'subject' msg['From'] = "THIS IS THE EMAIL I WANT TO [e-mail] " msg['To'] = " [e-mail] " username = ' [e-mail] ' password = 'password' server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587') server.starttls() server.login(username,password) server.sendmail(me, you, msg.as_string()) server.quit() if __name__ == '__main__': sendFollowupEmail("test123") 

Here is the PHP that will let you go from the address to what you want

 function sendFollowUpEmail($options) { /* * Send an email to a person or group. * Dependencies: PHPMailer * options: { * 'to' -> who to send the email to, * 'from'-> who the email was sent from, * 'subject'-> subject of the email, * 'body' -> the body of the email * } */ $host = 'smtp.gmail.com'; $username = " [e-mail] "; $password = "password"; $port = 465; echo error_reporting(E_STRICT); require_once('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php'); $mail = new PHPMailer(); $body = $options['body']; $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->IsHTML(true); $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; $mail->Host = $host; $mail->Port = $port; $mail->Username = $username; $mail->Password = $password; $mail->SetFrom($options['from'], $options['from']); if($options['bcc']!='') { $mail->AddBCC($options['bcc'], $options['bcc']); } //$mail->AddReplyTo(" [e-mail] ","First Last"); $mail->Subject = $options['subject']; $mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; $mail->MsgHTML($body); $address = $options['to']; $mail->AddAddress($address); $mail->send(); 

Answer 1

Add to msg

 msg['Reply-To'] = "THIS IS THE EMAIL I WANT TO [e-mail] " 

Edit

One thing you can do is add a return email to your Accounts and Import to gmail. and select it not as an alias. this will allow you to send emails from your main account as another account. using the address of another account
