SmtpClient Email sent from

Using the code at Send email with smtp authentication using ASP.NET 3.5[^], I tested email delivery through our company's SMTP service. It works in general. But there is one defect. I send the email though my email account in the SMTP email server. After I send an email, my SMTP mailbox Sent Items does not have the email I sent. I did enter my email address, like that below:
e_mail.From = new MailAddress(txtFrom.Text);
Any hint? Thanks.

Use the same id in From and NetworkCredentials. Also use Sender property same as From property.

I have tried it using gmail account and it works.

I set Smtp_Server.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
which means neither userID nor password is needed for sending email. I also tested that even though I enter a fake email address (only need to be valid format), the emails can be delivered. The email can be CCed, but the Bcc-ed email is not received. Please tell me how to add code for the 'From' NetworkCredentials. Thanks.

This is already given in the example that you have used. Here is a line of code from the link given by you:

System.Net.NetworkCredential myCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("email", "password");

I added this line already. However, in my tests, no matter whether userID and password are provided or not, and Smtp_Server.UseDefaultCredentials = true; the emails are always sent. Thanks anyway.
