You can actually use "Don't Reply <do_not_reply@domain.example>" as the email address you send from.

Try this in the shell of your Django project to test if it also works with gapps:

>>> from django.core.mail import send_mail
>>> send_mail('subject', 'message', "Don't Reply <do_not_reply@domain.example>", ['youremail@example.com'])

Apart from the send_mail method to send email, EmailMultiAlternatives can also be used to send email with HTML content with text content as an alternative.

try this in your project

from django.core.mail import EmailMultiAlternatives
text_content = "Hello World"
# set html_content
email = EmailMultiAlternatives('subject', text_content, 'Dont Reply <do_not_reply@domain.example>', ['youremail@example.com'])

email.attach_alternative(html_content, 'text/html')
email.send()

This will send mail to youremail@example.com with Don’t Reply wil be displayed as name instead of email do_not_reply@domain.example.

I use this code to send through gmail smtp (using google apps). and sender names are OK

def send_mail_gapps(message, user, pwd, to):
    import smtplib
    mailServer = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
    mailServer.ehlo()
    mailServer.starttls()
    mailServer.ehlo()
    mailServer.login(user, pwd)
    mailServer.sendmail(user, to, message.as_string())
    mailServer.close()
