You wear that "I eat you alive" underwear of yours today again :))))

So,  I  know  about  that  REPLY-TO  field, of course. But: (I have my
"Think  logically" Tshirt on :) : I use a secure Hungarian SMTP server
to  send ALL of my emails, except the GMail. And that does not replace
the  From  field, it just does what it has to do: auth tells it that I
am a legitimate user of their SMTP service, and send my email with the
FROM  field  I  specified. This is how it should be done. However, Uwe
says  and  I  checked it now also, that GMail's SMTP REPLACES the FROM
field  with  the  email  address of the GMail account you used to auth
yourself.  And you think it is ok. Not Vitalie, it is not ok. At least
it  is  not proper handling of emails. They should either not allow to
use  their  SMTP server or let me use it and not replacing the sender.
They  do  something  in between. I think, they do it against the spam,
but for nonspammers it is a rather illogical SMTP handling.

Your move.
