I am sending mail from my django site. Everything is fine and mail is also sent and received successfully, but not from_email(that put on email field in contact form). Email sent from EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'example@gmail.com' that I put on setting.py.

def contact(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        name = request.POST['name']
        email = request.POST['email']
        subject = request.POST['subject']
        phone = request.POST['phone']
        message = request.POST['message']
        try:
            send_mail(subject,message,email,['to@gmail.com',],fail_silently=False)
            messages.success(request, 'We get your message and reply shortly...')
        except:
            messages.error(request, "failed")

    return render(request, 'pages/contact.html')

I want mail will be sent from email(that user put on the email field)

you have to provide your email address instead of passing email of user who put in contact form so change your code like this

send_mail(subject,message,'mydomain@example.com',['to@gmail.com',],fail_silently=False)

check official doc.

Try this:-

def contact(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        name = request.POST['name']
        sender = request.POST['email']
        subject = request.POST['subject']
        phone = request.POST['phone']
        message = request.POST['message']
        try:
            msg_mail = str(message)" " + str(sender)
            send_mail(subject , msg_mail,sender ,  ['to@gmail.com'], fail_silently=False)
            messages.success(request, 'We get your message and reply shortly...')
        except:
            messages.error(request, "failed")

    return render(request, 'pages/contact.html')

when you are sending the email the 'from' is you and the 'to' is the reciever you can't send a mail from the email in the field as it is the email of the reciever.
