Issue seems to be that the support email is set automatically to noreply@domain but it should probably be populated by mail.from if set

Hi @thebalaa, thanks for reporting! Can you please clarify something for me:

Is the issue that the magic link email is sent from an address different than the mail.from configured value, or is the issue that the email fails to send if the SMTP provider requires sender identity verification?

Yes, the issue is that magic link email is not sent from the address specific by mail.from.

@thebalaa Thanks for your patience! Can you elaborate on what you mean by this:

fail to send when smtp provider requires sender identify verification

Also if you don't mind sharing which email provider you're using (e.g. Mailgun?) that would be helpful in chasing this down 🙏🏼
