how do I hide the real email address when sending as another user.

When sending email 'From:' another user using your account, and it's received
by a person using Outlook, Outlook shows the real originating email account
instead of the account the mail was sent 'From:'. Is there a way to make the
header only show the 'From:' address and not the person who sent the email?

I click on the 'From:' button and send email out as our (e-mail address removed)
address. A user receives this email and it shows as being from: Lastname,
Firstname on behalf of Marketing

We would like the From: field to just be Marketing.

Thanks,

And that's exacly how the From field is to be used. Seems to me, there are
a couple of ways to approach it, one if you use an Exchange server and one
it you don't. For the latter case, create a new account and specify
(e-mail address removed) as the E-mail address of the account. Then use the
Accounts button to select that account when sending mail. For the former, I
believe it's how the permissions on the mailbox are set up, but I'm not
familiar enough with Exchange to say. I do recall reading similar postings
here or in the m.p.o newsgroup and Google Groups can find those for you.
 
Thanks for your reply. We are in fact using an Exchange environment. I will
try and search google some more.... just not having any luck with my search
phrases.

thanks again,

I'm reasonably sure that the sender address presentation is controlled by
the Exchange server and that it can't be changed by the Outlook client.
 
Thanks! I found that same answer yesterday after some further digging. I
appreciate your help.
