"on behalf of"

[Bryan Anderson]

I have my own domains and have an email address set up for
each one (eg: (e-mail address removed)) which most of my email will
be 'from'. However there are occasions when I want to send
from (e-mail address removed) and when I change this in the From:
field, then the email says is from '(e-mail address removed) on
behalf of (e-mail address removed).

Any way to lose the 'on behalf of' bit? When I send a mail
from harry then it's nothing to do with tom....the reason
I am sending from harry is that I don't want the recipient
to know about and spam the tom address.

D'oh! Forgot to mention (again!) that I'm using Outlook 2003!

In my experience this seems to occur when the From field is used and
likewise when a message is resent under a second account using the Actions >
Resend This Message feature.

I find that 'on behalf of' never appears when a separate E-mail Account is
selected using the Accounts option on the Standard toolbar.

If you are the Bryan Anderson of last week, then it's an astonishingly small
world.

I find that 'on behalf of' never appears when a separate
E-mail Account is selected using the Accounts option on the
Standard toolbar.

I don't want to use another account. Here's an example: I will
sign up for internet newsletters/offers/websites using an email
address in the format <web_address>@example.com so I can track
who is leaking/selling my email address to combat and report on
as much spam as I can.

All these emails will come to the same POP3 box and this is set
as an account with my norman <name>@example.com address and this
is the address I use in my normal corespondance.

I have other POP3 accounts set up using other domain names and
free email addresses, but I can't possibly set up a new account
for each and every <alias>@example.com or the list would get out
of control.

Simply altering the From: field is far, far simpler, but it is
exposing my 'real' email address when I use one of the spamable
aliases.

If you are the Bryan Anderson of last week, then it's an
astonishingly small world.

Well - I've not been to New York in the past week (erm...or in
the past 33 years!) so I can't imagine I am the same one ;-)

I did have a teacher about 25years ago called Graham Millington
though.
