What sender address when use SmtpClient?

See original GitHub issue

This is maybe a stupid question, forgive me please.

I use this started a server:

var options = new SmtpServerOptionsBuilder()
    .ServerName("localhost")
    .Port(25, 587)
    .Build();

var smtpServer = new SmtpServer.SmtpServer(options, ServiceProvider.Default);
await smtpServer.StartAsync(CancellationToken.None);

so how to set the sender address in SmtpClient?

yes that is correct.

If you wanted to forward the message you would need to handle that yourself.
