Yes, that seems to be how this server works. And my goal is indeed to keep the server username away from the screen of the recipient. > Most email clients don't let you do that.

I have the same server configured on my desktop computer, and it works there. The only difference I've found so far seems to be that the envelope-from is set in the configuration. If I remove it, I am also unable to send some messages on the desktop. > The recipient will see the "server-required" (@xyz.net) email > address, but *most* replies will go to your "real" (@zip.ac.uk) one. > Automated replies (e.g., out-of-office) will almost always go to the > "server-required" (@xyz.net) address. -- Nuno Silva -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
