sending mail with nodemailer - email from field incorrect

Trying to set up a contact form with nodemailer. Here's what's in my app.js:

// EMail configuration
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP",{
    service: "Gmail",
    auth: {
        user: "myemailaddress",
        pass: "xxx"
    }
});

// CONTACT FORM
app.get('/contact', function (req, res) {
    res.render("contact");
});

app.post('/contact', function (req, res) {
    var mailOptions = {
        from: req.body.email, // sender address
        to: "myemailaddress", // list of receivers
        subject: req.body.subject, // Subject line
        text: req.body.message, // plaintext body
    }
    smtpTransport.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, response){
        if(error){
            console.log(error);
        }else{
            console.log("Message sent: " + response.message);
        }
        smtpTransport.close(); // shut down the connection pool, no more messages
    });
    res.render("contact", { success: "building web app" });
});

And my contact.jade template looks like this:

form#contact-form(action="/contact", method="POST")
div.span5
    p Full name:
        input#name(type="text", name="name")
    p Email address:
        input#email(type="email", name="email")
    p Subject:
        input#subject(type="text", name="subject")
    p Message:
        textarea#message(type="text", name="message", rows="5")
    p: button(type="submit") Send message

The email now works, but comes from myemailaddress rather than the one I enter into the email field on the template. Any ideas

Gmail and many other email services don't allow you to send messages with various FROM field.

you can use postmark, they provide an excellent api for sending emails and there is a node module for it (https://npmjs.org/package/postmark)
