Setting SMTP from name

[mgbell]

Is it possible to set the "from" name that appears in emails sent via SMTP?

If for example I'm using alice@example.com as my SMTP email, but I'd like the name to be shown as bob@, can this be done by setting a variable, something like SMTP_FROM_NAME?

You can use the mailbox format John Doe <john@example.com> in SMTP_FROM_EMAIL

Thanks Tom, I'll give this a go later today.

Worked perfectly, thank you!
Might I please suggest this is added to the official documentation, or at the least as a comment above the SMTP_FROM_EMAIL variable?

Done 👍 – Outline SMTP docs
