GMail does not generate an "on behalf of" header either. I just tested |
| 16 |
it. I've sent an email through GMail's SMTP. Here are the relevant |
| 17 |
headers of the email that arrived. "my_other_address" is what I used as |
| 18 |
"From:" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Return-path: <realnc@×××××.com> |
| 21 |
Envelope-to: my_other_address |
| 22 |
Sender: Nikos Chantziaras <realnc@×××××.com> |
| 23 |
From: my_other_address |
| 24 |

The OP mentioned that the problem is that he wants to subscribe to a |
| 26 |
mailing list, but that list sends the verification mail to the "Sender:" |
| 27 |
address rather than the "From:" address. Which sounds very weird to me. |
| 28 |
If you want to subscribe the "From:" address to a list, why would they |
| 29 |
want to verify the "Sender:" address instead? Makes no sense. |
