Python sending email from different from address with gmail

Question

For some reason I cannot change the "FROM" to look like anyone but the account I log into gmail with. I know for a fact that PHP mailer library can make the FROM address from anyone without any problems - but for some reason I can't in python. We have an enterprise gmail account if that helps. Here is the code I am working with ``` 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 CHANGE@domain.com" msg['To'] = "client@client.com" username = 'accessaccount@gmail.com' 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__ == '__m…

Accepted Answer
