Ahh I see – could have picked up on that 😅

Just had another deeper look then.

This seems to be your current configuration:

```auto
{
	"mail": {
		"transport": "SMTP",
		"options": {
			"host": "mail.privateemail.com",
			"port": 465,
			"secure": true,
			"from": "atharv@vadehra.me",
			"auth": {
				"user": "atharv@vadehra.me",
				"pass": " **********************"
			}
		}
	}
}

```

As you can see, you put the `from` property into the `options`. However, this should be one level up, putting it on the same level as `transport`. Have a look at the documentation [here](https://ghost.org/docs/config/#from-address) for more context.

Here’s the fixed configuration:

```auto
{
	"mail": {
		"from": "atharv@vadehra.me",
		"transport": "SMTP",
		"options": {
			"host": "mail.privateemail.com",
			"port": 465,
			"secure": true,
			"auth": {
				"user": "atharv@vadehra.me",
				"pass": " **********************"
			}
		}
	}
}

```

Hope that fixes the problem 🙂
