And you can solve this promblem by asking "How can I change the FROM field with python?" (which was your last question in this context, after you read and understood the cited answers)? ... Good luck!

Beeing serious:
Which mailserver did you install? postfix, exim, sendmail, ...?
Check that and read its dokumentation how to configure authentication.
Then you can use it.
And if you get stuck: A python list is NOT THE RIGHT PLACE to ask questions about the configuration of mailservers. Find the correct list for your mailserver and ask there!

See above.

No problem. Configure your own mail server the way you want it to work.

But remembering your attitude to security-things it would be better for us if you did NOT adminstrate a mailserver. We do not need another open relay.
