Laravel mail sending to self

I've got a contact form that requires a persons Name, Email, Subject and Message in order to send an email. The email successfully sends however the "to" and "from" are from the same email. Here's the controller code:

Mail::send('email-contact',[ 
            'msg' => $request->message
        ], function ($mail) use ($request) {
            $mail->from($request->email, $request->name);
            $mail->to('[email protected]')->subject($request->subject);
        });

In this case the email sends properly but the "from" field is the same name.

For example I get:

To: "[email protected]", From: "[email protected]".

Instead of:

To: "[email protected]", From: "{the user's email from $request->email}".

What am I doing wrong?

In my .env I have:

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=**********
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

You are using Gmail account for the different identity of the sender you should use your own cpanel SMTP server. Gmail does not provide custom identity.
