        public function __construct(

            $this->scopeConfig = $scopeConfig;
        }

        public function sendEmailOnDelivery($order, $customerName, $customerEmail)
        {
            $this->inlineTranslation->suspend();
            $orderId=$order->getId();
            $adminAmail = $this->senderEmail();
            $emailtemplate = $this->emailTemplate();
            try {
                $templateVars = [
                    'name' => $customerName,
                    'orderId' => $orderId
                ];
                $transport = $this->transportBuilder
                    ->setTemplateIdentifier($emailtemplate)
                    ->setTemplateOptions
                    (
                        [
                            'area' => Area::AREA_ADMINHTML,
                            'store' => $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId()
                        ]
                    )
                    ->setTemplateVars($templateVars)
                    ->setFrom($adminAmail)
                    ->addTo($customerEmail,$customerName)
                    ->getTransport();
                $transport->sendMessage();
                $this->inlineTranslation->resume();
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                print_r($e->getMessage());
                exit;
                $this->inlineTranslation->resume();
            }
        }

        public function senderEmail()
        {
            $storeScope = ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE;
            return $this->scopeConfig->getValue(
                self::SENDER_EMAIL,
                $storeScope
            );
        }
     public function emailTemplate()
        {
            $storeScope = ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE;
            return $this->scopeConfig->getValue(
                self::EMAIL_TEMPLATE,
                $storeScope
            );
        }

    }

Tried to debug where is exception from vendor\magento\module-email\Model\Template\SenderResolver.php

 public function resolve($sender, $scopeId = null)
    {
        $result = [];

        if (!is_array($sender)) {
            $result['name'] = $this->_scopeConfig->getValue(
                'trans_email/ident_' . $sender . '/name',
                \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
                $scopeId
            );
            $result['email'] = $this->_scopeConfig->getValue(
                'trans_email/ident_' . $sender . '/email',
                \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
                $scopeId
            );
        } else {
            $result = $sender;
        }

        if (!isset($result['name']) || !isset($result['email'])) {
            throw new \Magento\Framework\Exception\MailException(__('Invalid sender data'));
        }

        return $result;
    }

I am getting a blank array in $sender , but I'm passing value in $adminAmail.

Answer 1

Try with below code,

public function senderEmail($type = null, $storeId = null)
    {
        $sender ['email'] = $this->scopeConfig->getValue(
                                self::SENDER_EMAIL,
                                ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
                                $storeId
                            );
        $sender['name'] = 'admin';

        return $sender;
    }

Answer 2

The problem comes from your setFrom method.

I suggest you try to replace:

->setFrom($adminAmail)

With:

->setFrom([
    'email' => $this->scopeConfig->getValue(self::EMAIL_TEMPLATE, ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE),
    'name' => $this->scopeConfig->getValue('trans_email/ident_general/email', ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE)
]);
