Gmail sends email with wrong name

I just set up an email account on G-Suite and its like that:

Name: MyDomain.com
Email: [email protected]

However when I send email from this email account it is displayed as:

Name: AnotherDomain.com

I don't have this domain on G-Suite a long time ago and don't know why it fetches this wrong name from it. Any ideas?

I tried adding an SPF record, but it doesn't solve the problem:

"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

Why is my email sending with a different name?

In some cases you may be given an email address, but you still specify your name. So in an outgoing email, you define what shows up in the From: line simply by how you've configured your email account. The display name is actually completely ignored by the entire email system.

The username must be a valid account in your domain. Read more at G-Suite APIs Gmail Users Settings.

  • Sign in to the Google Admin console.

  • From the dashboard, click Apps.

  • Click G Suite > Gmail > User settings.

  • In the Catch-all address section, select the Forward the mail to: option.

  • Enter the username for the catch-all address. The username must be a valid account in your domain. Don’t include the domain name, @your-domain. It’s automatically added to the address.

  • At the bottom, click Save.

If you want to bounce messages addressed to nonexistent recipients:

  • Sign in to the Google Admin console.

  • From the dashboard, click Apps.

  • Click G Suite > Gmail > User settings.

  • In the Catch-all address section, select the Discard option.

  • At the bottom, click Save.
