@mko22 ,

The email is sent from the `username` field. [This](https://community.auth0.com/t/smtp-custom-email-provider-from-address-not-used/78774/3) topic has the same query.

To configure the email sent to the new user, please go to Branding → Email Template → select “Verifiction Email (using Link)” or “Verification Email (using Code)” in the Template field. [This](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/email/email-templates) doc explains how to customize the email template.

Hope this helps!
