Where exactly are you looking when you see that unacceptable
"Xxxxxxx () on behalf of Xxxxxxx ()"
I just set up my Gmail account with a custom 'From' address, and when I
used it to send a message, the email as received in Windows Mail did not
show any evidence of being sent via Gmail. To be sure, when I looked at
the hidden headers (Ctrl+F3) there was a "Sender:" header that did
reveal the Gmail account address. My understanding is that the Microsoft
Outlook email program is one of very few that will take the hidden Sender
info and uses it to generate a visible "on behalf of" disclosure.
So, did you use Outlook to view the received message? Obviously, this
workaround is not perfect. You may want to investigate whether your ISP
will allow you to send email with any 'From' address. Some do, and they
are not likely to be sophisticated enough to add the hidden Sender header.
