Transport username sent instead of sender's email | Symfony Mailer - symfony

Question

I'am experiencing the issue of receiving the transport username (email) as the sender instead of the email written in the from() function when sending emails using Symfony Mailer.
Here is the code:
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Bridge\Google\Transport\GmailSmtpTransport;
use Symfony\Component\Mailer\Mailer;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Address;
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;
$transport = new GmailSmtpTransport($username, $password);
$mailer = new Mailer($transport);
$email = (new Email())
->from(new Address($data["email"]))
->to("dest#gmail.com")
->subject(sprintf("Apply for a %s.", ucfirst($data["subject"])))
->html($template);
$mailer->send($email);
Any idea how to fix it?

To fix this issue, I found the following solutions:
Use a different SMTP server that does not override the From header. You can try using a different email service provider or configuring your own SMTP server to avoid this issue.
Set the Sender header in your email message. This header specifies the email address that should be used as the actual sender of the message, while the From header specifies the name and email address of the person or entity sending the message. You can set the Sender header using the sender() method of the Symfony\Component\Mime\Email class.
For example:
use Symfony\Component\Mime\Email;
$email = (new Email())
->from(new Address($data["email"]))
->to('dest#gmail.com')
->subject(sprintf("Apply for a %s.", ucfirst($data["subject"])))
->html($template)
->sender(new Address($data["email"]));
Configure your SMTP server to allow sending emails with a different From address. This may require modifying the configuration of your email service provider or SMTP server to allow sending emails with a different From address. You can consult the documentation of your email service provider or SMTP server for more information on how to do this.
Note that some SMTP servers may still override the From header even if you set the Sender header or configure the server to allow sending emails with a different From address. In such cases, you may need to use a different SMTP server that does not override the From header.
