message sent to an outlook account

[Jona]

I just recently discovered.....when you send an email to an outlook
account as another email address specified, it will display your
default gmail account name as well as the account you have specified.

ie. default account jonni...@gmail.com sent as one of your other
accounts joh...@gmail.com

it would look like this to the receiver:
jonni...@gmail.com on behalf of 'john doe'[joh...@gmail.com]

This is very serious because the user has specified an account that
they would like to display. If your default account is displayed, then
your privacy is lost.

Please let me know if there is a way around this.

Thank you,

Jon

Not currently, that I know of. I believe Gmail does this in order to prevent fraud, so I'm not sure if they will ever allow the user to change the "on behalf of" message.

Changing the source address was never intended to protect privacy.
There is no way around this unless you have your own mail server or
you send it through the proper domain's mail server.

I've found one way around it: switiching back to Yahoo Mail for all my
personal (and personal business) correspondence. Since this suddenly
became a problem in Gmail, I now only use Gmail for mailing lists,
groups, newsletters, etc., that I sign up for on my Gmail account. This
anti-fraud "feature" has proben a huge disappointment, since Gmail has
for me been the best and easiest to use Web mail. But too many friends
were complaining to me that I had "changed" my e-mail address without
telling them. It's not that I necessarily want to hide my Gmail address
from the world, I just want to be able to use different addresses for
different types of correspondence. I can send e-mail from my broadband
service addresses through Yahoo Mail without this added (and pointless)
confusion -- so now I do.

Besides, isn't verifying alternate e-mail addresses on setup designed
to take care of fraud issues? Otherwise, what's the point of that
process??

P.S. The Gmail address shows through on a "Sender" line in the header
on Eudora, too, at least the version I have at work, just FYI.

 Good point... extra protection? (I don't know.)
