Yes, I know it has been a long time since this was posted but…

This is by design. It helps for spam filtering purposes.

For example, if your company has a strict SPF record, you would otherwise be unable to send from gmail as your work address.

This is now fixed. You can use your work’s SMTP server from Gmail.

Guys, for $10 a month you can get your own web site with something like 500 POP email accounts included at Network Solutions. That’s like the equivalent of 3 cups of starbucks coffee each month.

I agree with WHat…

It’s really obnoxious for Gmail to allow you to use a different From: address and then screw you over by announcing to everyone that you’re faking your email address and actually use a gmail account instead…

They should either just don’t allow a different From: or just replace your freakin’ email address…

The worst thing is :
“For outgoing mail, Gmail adds an extra Sender: youraccount@gmail.com header, I assume as an…”

What the fuuck they gmail team design?

Why not completely change the “sender address”?
