How do I > fix this? Are you using authentication when connecting to the mail server? This recent thread: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/138d1eea6d1125ec?hl=en# notes similar behavior, when using gmail (which requires authentication, I believe) as the mail server. It's intuitive behavior -- if you have authenticated to the mail server using one identify, it seems logical that mail sent on that authenticated connection would be "From:" that identity, not some other identity. For all I know such behavior is mandated by one of the mail-related RFCs, but this is not an area I am familiar with, so I really have no idea. All I can say is from a quick look at the django.core.mail code, there doesn't appear to be any special-case code that discards the specified "From" in favor of EMAIL_HOST_USER, so I don't believe it is any code within Django that is causing this.
