In response to: Any problem? -- Gmail SMTP server losing my FROM address in transition
Posted on: 08/21/2012 02:11:21 AM
I have created a business account via:
kttp://www.google.com/a/
on domain: myFakeCompany.com
With the followin settings
// authentication
final String username = "email-from@myFakeCompany.com";
final String password = "password";
// email information
String from = "email-from@myFakeCompany.com";
String to = "email-to@gmail.com";
I can make all my outgoing emails be seen on destination as:
from: email-from@myFakeCompany.com
to: email-to@gmail.com

subject: Testing Subject
mailed-by: gmail.com
OK, I can send out email via my business account -- that's not surprising. But when my client replied my email to '
email-from@myFakeCompany.com', I did not get anything. Now what?

On the destination (email-to@gmail.com's Inbox):
from: username@gmail.com
to: email-to@gmail.com

OK, my goal is simple -- I want to use Gmail as the third party SMTP server to send my outgoing emails to my clients. But when the email reaches its destination, my email's FROM address has been lost and it has been replaced by the email account which was used for authentication.
So, I really want to let my clients to get the impression that the messages was sent from FROM address: 'email-from@myFakeCompany.com'. How can I achieve my goal?
Answer: There are 2 solutions:
1) Use paid third party email services by which you can set your 'form' address whatever you want it to be.
2) Use Google Apps (there is a free business account with users less than 10).
