Dear Ghost community, I am having trouble formatting my FROM email adress. In the config file I have: “mail”: { “from”: “‘[Tischer.io](http://Tischer.io)’ [sebastian@tischer.io](mailto:sebastian@tischer.io)”, “transport”: “SMTP”, “options”: { “service”: “Mailgun”, “host”: “[smtp.eu.mailgun.org](http://smtp.eu.mailgun.org)”, “port”: 465, “secureConnection”: true, “auth”: { “user”: “_**", “pass”: "**_\*” } This is what email client show me: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/6/69afd3259420faae65112d3c15c650953f01e1e3.jpeg) Do you have any ideas?🙂 Thank you and warm regards.

Hi, Use like below `"from": "Tischer.io",` ---

Hi inoryum, thank you for the reply, but it didn’t worked :( it shows the same [www.tischer.io](http://www.tischer.io) as from name. ---

Hi, You are welcome. Did you checked your Blog title btw? The default from email is the blog title. ---

Hi inoryum, thanks for your help again, I still have two problems: 1.) The from adress in my inbox show a skull icon and then [www.tischer.io](http://www.tischer.io) for transactional emails (signup etc.) ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-04-25 um 12.54.50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/9/90b71b2ccf577b52fd9eadbb4fb0bed02f6afb22.jpeg) 2.) I just noticed I can’t send marketing emails when a post is published, it says I need to check the mailgun configuration. ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-04-25 um 12.43.58](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/a/adc3e5dd8bbf0f32d5286c577e689fac217c19bf.png) My config: config.production.json: ``` "mail": { "transport": "SMTP", "from": "'Sebastian Tischer' ", "options": { "service": "Mailgun", "host": "smtp.eu.mailgun.org", "port": 465, "secureConnection": true, "auth": { "user": "postmaster@mail.tischer.io", "pass": " *****" } } ``` }, And in Ghost ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-04-25 um 12.45.05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/9/9f89986e46e61ad795fb6615a3d30f0541379bf7.png) I used the Mailgun private key. I have no further idea what to do… Thank you for your help 🙂 ---

Small update, I got it to work 🙂 These are the crucial settings: ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-04-25 um 13.18.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/a/a13e81e5eb383ef9a947400d356218d4da6467cf.png) You need to enter the first part of the from email here, the rest (@www.tischer.io) is then added. If you leave it blank, it will be noreply if you add for example mail then it will be [mail@www.tischer.io](mailto:mail@www.tischer.io) NOW the last problem to solve is: How can I make the email to: [sebastian@tischer.io](mailto:sebastian@tischer.io) I want the website to run under [www.tischer.io](http://www.tischer.io) but the mail should be normal [sebastian@tischer.io](mailto:sebastian@tischer.io). It doesn’t seem to take the from settings out of the config.production.json: “from”: “‘Sebastian Tischer’ [sebastian@tischer.io](mailto:sebastian@tischer.io)”, Does anybody have an idea? :) ---

One solution would be to use the core domain for your blog as well. I think that [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com) is not that important anymore. I personally prefer [https://domain.com](https://domain.com) rather than [https://www.domain.com](https://www.domain.com) (and you can always redirect www to core domain). If you do this, then your email config will show up normal: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/2/2ee6aa47ea6b838c868bb5aabd589997f1c32579.png) ---

Hi @Sebastian_Tischer. I believe the transactional emails that Ghost sends (for example, the subscribe confirmation email) don’t use the `from` value in the config file. `from` only seems to be used when sending out posts as newsletters. ---

Agreed with @dsecareanu ---

Thank you all for the replies, then I need to rethink my domain name 🙂 Have a nice sunday everybody. Warm regards Sebastian ---

so if you put this into your email from field: ` Sebastian Tischer ` the email address will get picked up from json, but the from name will be: Sebastian Tischer @www.tischer.io I’m using this as a partial solution at the moment…
