Question

im trying to send email with mail plugin in grails with the gmail account.
The email is sent successfully but i have a problem with the sender of the email

In Config.groovy

grails {
 mail {
 host = "smtp.gmail.com"
 port = 465
 username = "[e-mail]"
 password = "mypassword"
 props = ["mail.smtp.auth":"true",                     
          "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465",
          "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
          "mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false"]

 } 
}

Then from my app, i call

mailService.sendMail {
            to "[e-mail]"
            from "[e-mail]"
            subject sub
            body message
        }

The email is sent fine to [e-mail], but the sender is not the [e-mail] but the [e-mail]. Any advice?

Answer 1

You can’t do this in on GMail. It forces you to use the “[e-mail]”, you’ll need to either use a local provide, another provider all together or accept “[e-mail]”.

I believe this is done on purpose to prevent people from sending spam through Gmail.
