I configured the smtp module to work with gmail. It send emails correctly, but it doesn't use the "E-mail from address" field to send the emails from, although I have filled it. The emails are sent from SMTP username, and that is not what I need. I need to authenticate with an account, but send the emails from an alias. What is the "E-mail from address" field for?

Version: 6.x-1.0-beta5 » 7.x-1.0-beta2

Closed #1855290: smtp_from value is not used to send mail and #1848708: the from fied is not used as duplicates of this issue.

They were both reports of smtp_from not being used in 7.x-1.0-beta2, so I've changed the Version for this issue.
