This took me a while to fig\u00adure out yes\u00adter\u00adday, so in the hopes it helps someone else (or reminds me of the solu\u00adtion when I need to solve the same prob\u00adlem again).<\/p>\n
The symp\u00adtom:<\/em> Mail.app on my Mac laptop is send\u00ading email with the wrong \u201cFrom\u201d head\u00ader, even though I\u2019ve chosen the right account to send it from, and the email in the Sent folder has the right email address in the From header.<\/p>\n The back\u00adground:<\/em> my major cli\u00adent com\u00adpany wants me to start using their email address for work I do for them, which seems com\u00adpletely reas\u00adon\u00adable to me. For vari\u00adous reas\u00adons, how\u00adever, I need to keep using the Google SMTP<\/span> serv\u00ader that I have for my Tex\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adity email to send the mail (SSL<\/span> cer\u00adti\u00adfic\u00adate stuff that I have no con\u00adtrol over being the main reason). <\/p>\n The solu\u00adtion:<\/em> as far as the Google SMTP<\/span> serv\u00ader is con\u00adcerned, you need to prove you own the email address that\u2019s in the From head\u00ader, or it will simply sub\u00adsti\u00adtute the email address that it does know that you own (in my case my textuality.com email address). To authen\u00adtic\u00adate, and thereby allow the Google SMTP<\/span> serv\u00ader to use the oth\u00ader email address as the sender email address, log in to the browser inter\u00adface of your Google email account (wheth\u00ader GMail or a Google Apps account). Click on the \u201cSet\u00adtings\u201d link (should be top right). Click on the \u201cAccounts\u201d link. In the \u201cSend mail as:\u201d sec\u00adtion, click on the \u201cAdd anoth\u00ader email address you own\u201d link. The help inform\u00ada\u00adtion on this does\u00adn\u2019t make it clear that this sec\u00adond\u00adary email address can be any email address, served through any sys\u00adtem. It does\u00adn\u2019t have to be a Google account, it just has to be an address you receive email at. You won\u2019t be pick\u00ading up that email using the Google sys\u00adtem unless you also set up some\u00adthing in the \u201cGet mail from oth\u00ader accounts:\u201d sec\u00adtion, which is not some\u00adthing I wanted to do. Then, fol\u00adlow the instruc\u00adtions. Google will send email to your sec\u00adond\u00adary address as a simple authen\u00adtic\u00ada\u00adtion (veri\u00adfic\u00ada\u00adtion) pro\u00adced\u00adure. Click on the link in the email, or fol\u00adlow the oth\u00ader instruc\u00adtions. Then hey presto, the Google SMTP<\/span> serv\u00ader will allow you to send your email using your sec\u00adond\u00adary email address as the \u201cFrom\u201d sender. And people reply\u00ading to it will send the email to the right account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This took me a while to fig\u00adure out yes\u00adter\u00adday, so in the hopes it helps someone else (or reminds me of the solu\u00adtion when I need to solve the same prob\u00adlem again).
