how do I replace my own eMail address in the sender field

Guest

I need to send a newsletter to 200 - 300 recipients. Therefore I want to
replace my eMail address by an anonymous one, say
"(e-mail address removed)" by "(e-mail address removed)".

So you are spamming? Why else would you an to hide your email address as the
SENDER of this "news letter"?

The only way AFAIK to hide your email address is to set up a bogus account
in Outlook.....Even if you put a false email addy in your current account,
the Internet headers will show the real address AFAIK....

You thought this was a pro-spam newsgroups to help spammers lie about
who is sending the spam?

THAT is what *you* said. That means you want to send from one domain
but pretend the e-mail originated from another domain, something the
headers will show is a lie (and may result in your e-mails getting
tagged as spam or suspect). If you really had a department for
customer service from your company that was exposed to customers then
it would have the same domain as your own e-mail address, like you are
(e-mail address removed) but want any replies to go to
(e-mail address removed) (not to some other domain).

You may also need to contact your IT folks to find out if you are
permitted to change your e-mail address. If using Exchange, you might
try putting whatever you want in the E-mail field in the account
defined within Outlook but Exchange will override the From header that
you tried to insert by putting in a legitimate From header based on
the account that was used. So you try to lie but Exchange won't
permit it. You may also be violating your company's policies
regarding e-mail usage by changing the sender identified in your
e-mails that are external to the company's network.

Why not simply specify a non-blank value for the Reply-To field in the
e-mail account that you have defined in Outlook? Leave the E-mail
field (for the From header) as yourself but set the Reply-To field
(for the Reply-To header) to the generic customer service department's
e-mail address. Then you aren't lying about who is the actual sender
but have recipients use the generic e-mail address when they reply.
