    You can set it in “Admin Email Message Options”.

    It seems it doesn’t work 🙁
    Maybe because I’m using “Postman SMTP” Plugin and it sends it through my Gmail account.

    But… I set the Sender Name in Postman SMTP Plugin and it works when I send the test email. CForms seems to ignore this setting and the email gets sent with my bare gmail address in the FROM field 🙁

    Postman will honour the From field set by the creator of the email. The from field contains the From address and an optional name like this:

    jason@gmail.com
    Jason <jason@gmail.com>

    Some plugins, like contact forms, set the From field to the email address of the visitor instead.

    Visitor <visitor@gmail.com>

    Servers like Mandrill accept this behaviour. Servers like Gmail see this as Spoofing and do not accept it. They will revert the from address back to your own like this:

    Visitor <jason@gmail.com>

    The Session Transcript in Postman’s Email Log (Tools > Email Log) will show exactly what was sent to the server.
