I can use whatever address in my from header, but not all ISPs accept that behaviour. Some ISPs only allow your own address as originating address. You've got a gmail address and gmail allows sending with none gmail addresses, though they include a (envelope-from #####@gmail.com) header.

I can send myself messages from the exact address as you show it, and that's clearly a bogus address, just depends on the ISP how the message arrives. My default account (on my own mail server) allows everything, doesn't add extra headers or anything, but real ISPs have more concerns as they need to protect themselves against malicious users. (I only need to protect myself against my own stupidity.) So my guess is that it's just a matter of a strict ISP. BTW the @ character has a special meaning in addresses, so if you send a message with a sender in the [email protected] <[email protected]> format, then it might be a good idea to change that into "[email protected]" <[email protected]> -- Groetjes, Roelof The Moderator is God, and there is no God except the Moderator http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 5.2.1.2 (BETA) Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 5 pop3 accounts, 2 imap accounts OTFE disabled i7-2600 3.4GHz 4 GB RAM ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.2.1.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
