Nathan, thank you for sharing the SMTP2GO.com blog. My other e-mail address (a forwarding alias, actually) does not offer an SMTP server for outbound messages. The SMTP2GO service was just the 'bridge' I needed, and it's pretty cheap.

Can you set outlook up to get you emails from gmail and other providers and send them all to outlook. Then when you reply in outlook go thru gmail with out the on behalf of?

So I figure this out: first you have to click “Send mail from another address”, then you can configure it.

In my gmail account, the option “Use your other email provider’s SMTP servers” don’t appear under the “edit info” section. The only thing I can choose is name and email address. What am I doing wrong?

If your domain is managed with google apps, you can set “smtp.gmail.com” and user/pass you@yourdomain.com/password as custom smtp.

Works great! You do not need to set up your own smtp..

Thanks for the info.

A Google Apps Premium account doesn’t prevent this problem, all that does it meerly allow you to use Gmail without any ads and with extra disk space.

The ‘on behalf of’ problem still exists.

The SMTP setup option isn’t available to all Apps users, but can be applied globally by the domain admin through the Gmail Control Panel.

As far as I know, only Microsoft Outlook 2003 will display the ‘on behalf of’ message, Outlook 2007 and Hotmail display the ‘sent as’ email address without the original email.
