## Description
Closes
[#225](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-3.0-demo/issues/225).
The user verification emails are not being sent and this error is shown:
```ts
APIError: Error sending email: 422 validation_error - Invalid `from` field. The email address needs to follow the `email@example.com` or `Name <email@example.com>` format.
```
The issue is resolved by updating the `from` property on the outgoing
verification email:
```ts
from: `"${email.defaultFromName}" <${email.defaultFromName}>`,
// to
from: `"${email.defaultFromName}" <${email. defaultFromAddress}>`,
```
**NOTE:** This was not broken in 2.0, see correct outgoing email
[here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/payload/src/auth/sendVerificationEmail.ts#L69).
