Why is the sender of the email the same email that should be the receiver?

I'm doing a contact form for my small training project. Email is being received, but it doesn't seem right. It appears that I'm sending it to myself from the same email account

I'm using nodemailer and Angular.

This is the sendEmail function :

async function sendEmail(user,callback){
  const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: "smtp.gmail.com",
    port:587,
    service: `gmail`,
    auth:{
      async function sendEmail(data,callback){


const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host: "smtp.gmail.com",
    port:587,
    service: `gmail`,
    auth:{
        user : `youremailwithoutprovider`,
        pass: `your 3rd party app Google password`
    }
})

 const mailOptions = {
  sender: data.email,
  to: `essentialoilsnodemailer@gmail.com`,
  subject: data.subject,
  query: data.query,
  html: `
  <h2>From:</h2>
  <div>${data.email}</div>
  <h2>Subject:</h2>
  <div>${ data.subject}</div>
  <h2>Query:</h2>
  <div>${ data.query}</div>
  `
}

let info = await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions)

callback(info)
}

module.exports = {
  sendEmail
}
     

This is the controller in the server:

emailController.post(`/contact-us`, (req,res) => {
    console.log(`request came`)
    let user = req.body
   

    try {
        sendEmail(user,callback => {
      
        })
    } catch (error) {
        res.status(400).json({error:error.message})
    }

    res.end()
})

This is the whole contact-us component :

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormBuilder, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { ContactUsService } from './contact-us.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-contact-us',
  templateUrl: './contact-us.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./contact-us.component.css']
})
export class ContactUsComponent {
  errors: any;
  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder,private emailService: ContactUsService, private router: Router ){}

  contactUs = this.fb.group({
    name: [``,[Validators.required, Validators.minLength(5)]],
    subject: [``, [Validators.required, Validators.maxLength(20)]],
    email: [``,[Validators.email, Validators.required]],
    query: [``, [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(15)]]
  })  

  sendEmail(){
  let user = {
    name : this.contactUs.get(`name`)?.value,
    email : this.contactUs.get(`email`)?.value,
    subject : this.contactUs.get(`subject`)?.value,
    query:  this.contactUs.get(`query`)?.value,
  } 
  this.emailService.sendEmail(user).subscribe({
    

      next: () => this.router.navigate([`/`]),
      error:(err)=>   {
        this.errors = err.error?.error
      }

    })
  
    this.contactUs.reset()
  
  }
}

This is the service in Angular :

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { IQuery } from '../interfaces/query';

const API_CONTACT_US_EMAIL = `http://localhost:3000/contact-us`

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class ContactUsService {

  query : null | IQuery | undefined
  constructor(private http: HttpClient, private router: Router) { }

  sendEmail(data: {}){
    return this.http.post<IQuery>(`${API_CONTACT_US_EMAIL}`, data)
  }
}

This is all working, form is being filled out properly, email is received, just the sender is wrong in the gmail - it is the same email address.

You can see that I've used console.log a few times on the server, from them it seems like the proper data is being picked up, but something happens in the nodemailer I think.

request came
 Email sent

And this is how it looks in the gmail : Screenshot

What did I miss here?

Thanks

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
