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

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
