Can not change the display name of From email through smtp.office365.com using C# SmtpClient

In the past few months, I used SmtpClient to send emails with host smtp.office.365.comn, and I could change the Display Name of From Email using 

message.From = new MailAddress(email, displayName)

But recently the client has found out that they can no longer change that displayName, the mail they received only show email ([email protected]) in the From

So, is there any change from Microsoft or any way I can custom the Display Name? Because my code runs well with Gmail (smtp.gmail.com).

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

I just ran a test and sent an email from an address inside my organization, and the email message (displayed in Outlook) ignored the Display Name I had set, and instead used the display name that's set in our Active Directory for that account. I then tested with a dummy email address, and it showed the Display Name I had set. Could it be that?
