: Is it bad practice to change the "From" name when sending emails? I have an email module that lets users send an email to their city councillor. As of now, the From address of every email

I have an email module that lets users send an email to their city councillor. As of now, the From address of every email sent is My Cool Website <info@mycoolwebsite.ca>.

Is it considered email spoofing or bad practice for me to set the From address as Julie Ali <info@mycoolwebsite.ca>, with Julie Ali being the name of the user sending the email (which is pulled from the "Email your city councillor" form they fill out). Will this negatively affect my domain's reputation, or is this standard practice?
