Basic Custom Email Configuration on Ghost - Failed to send magic link email

I installed ghost on a droplet on Digital Ocean. I install it directly from the marketplace. I bought a custom domain from Namecheap and also an email. I got the domain working. But when I setup my email. The email is being sent from noreply@atharv.vadehra.me according to error logs. I have an alias noreply@vadehra.me but the config file is not reading the from attribute. in the JSON file so it is passing through the default( noreply@atharv.vadehra.me )

Config File:

{
    "mail": {
        "from": "atharv@vadehra.me",
        "transport": "SMTP",
        "options": {
            "host": "mail.privateemail.com",
            "port": 465,
            "secure": true,
            "auth": {
                "user": "atharv@vadehra.me",
                "pass": "******************"
            }
        }
    }
}

Error Log:
