ActionMailer::Base Dynamic :from email address

How can I change this code in my email mailer so that when current_user sends out an email from the application it is received by the recipient :from => current_user.email.

Currently it is from "[email protected]" but I would like this to change dynamically and Is this possible without resulting in emails going into junk?

class EmailMailer < ActionMailer::Base
    default :from => "[email protected]"

    def email_listing(user, listing, email)
        @user = user 
        @listing = listing
        @email = email
        @url  = "www.example.com"

        mail(:to => @email.email, :subject => @user.name)
    end
end

You can just pass the from option to add a custom from address, and pass the reply_to option for a reply address into the mail method, like

def email_listing(user, listing, email)
  @user = user 
  @listing = listing
  @email = email
  @url  = "www.example.com"

  mail(:to => @email.email, :subject => @user.name, from: '[email protected]', reply_to: @user.email)
end
