Sending email from laravel using a different "from" header

blahblahHi knows how to install the FROM part from email. In config for email you can set it there, but I want to use noreply@whatever.comsomething like this, for example. the code below does not work tho

Mail::send('emails.auth.activate', array('link' => URL::route('account-activate', $code), 'username' => $username), function($message) use ($user) {
    $message->from('noreply@whatever.com', 'Activate Account');
    $message->to($user->email, $user->username)->subject('Activate your account');
});

I just want to use noreplay@whatever.cominstead of using configuration settings inmail.php

when i use $message->from('noreply@whatever.com', 'Activate Account');it still shows my gmail account insteadnoreply@whatever.com
