I tried to change the default userid by providing msg.from

But in the email I received, it's a different email address.

The from became: [michael@pstpools.com](mailto:michael@pstpools.com)  
But X-Google-Original-From: has the correct from email address.  
I need the from to be the same as the one I've provided in the msg.from which is [nodered@daddybug.com](mailto:nodered@daddybug.com)

If I remember correctly, the from id myst be a valid email address on the mail service you are sending the email thru. I.E. you can not use fake id's. If it is not valid the mail service may/will change it.

Thanks for the response @zenofmud  
Is there a way to prevent the emails I sent from appearing in the Sent folder?
