Please tell us about your environment:

We don't have a version 0.106.0 which version of node.js, Node-RED are you using and which version of the email node ? What mail server are you using ? Quite a few of the public ones now refuse to let you set the from to anything that does not match the login domain in order to help cut down spoofing. For example in gmail - it must come from one of the accounts set up under your email settings (you can have several - but they must all be owned by you). You can set msg.replyTo that may be a way for people to reply to another address.

Hi, thank you for your answer. Sorry I was mistaken and gave the Home Assistant version number instead of the node-red one. I am using node-red addon for Home Assistant and version is 1.04 I am using the mail service of my domain name registrar (Gandi.net) and I am not aware of any restriction but I will investigate. I am new to Home Assistant an I don't know how to check the node.js version, the command line returns "node: command not found"

Gandi.net has had a lot of spoofing attacks recently so they may well have started taking action to limit or block this. You could also try msg.sender but most treat that the same if at all.

OK I'll give a try, thank you!
