Phpmailer send email directly to gmail server-CodePudding

first time here. I have a server configured to use the mail() function however i want to use phpmailer(to use another email address to send email). I have successfully used phpmailer but unfortunately, the emails are still being sent from the email address configured for mail(). any idea what can be done?

Edit: Code

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;


require './lib/phpmailer/src/Exception.php';
require './lib/phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php';
require './lib/phpmailer/src/SMTP.php';


$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();  
$mail->Mailer = "smtp";
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; 
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; 
$mail->Port = "587"; // typically 587 
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // ssl is depracated
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "[email protected]";
$mail->Password = "mypassword";
$mail->setFrom("[email protected]", "My email");
$mail->addAddress("[email protected]", "My Recipient");
$mail->Subject = 'Test Subject';
$mail->msgHTML("test body"); // remove if you do not want to send HTML email
$mail->AltBody = 'HTML not supported';
// $mail->addAttachment('docs/brochure.pdf'); //Attachment, can be skipped

$mail->send();

Here is the what im getting when im running the code.
