I have my gmail setup to be able to send emails from my exchange account as you described above, and it works beautifully…when sending to a non-exchange email account. When sending to another exchange account (for example, anyone else in my company), it’ll come up as xxxxxx@gmail.com on behalf of xxxx@mycompany.com, which tends to confuse people.

I was thinking that adding my gmail account as a “send as” user would get around this, but I’m not sure if you can give that kind of permission to a non-exchange user. What do you think?

If you are using Gmail to send your mail through a Web browser, in the settings tab you can add an additional send as account. When you add the account gmail will send a confirmation e-mail to that address with a code that needs to be entered in order to authorise you to use that send from address.

If you you are using Microsoft Outlook with a gmail/pop account, you can simply add an additional pop account with a different send as address. This is the way e-mail spoofing works. However if you are sending from your outlook using a domain that has an anti-spoofing records set up, your e-mail will be bounced by some servers that use this method to check for spoofed email.

Is it possible to give a non-exchange account “Send as” privileges? A gmail account, for example?
