I have a lifetime email alias from my university, and when I used it with Gmail it would always appear to people as "From me@gmail.com on behalf of me@wherever.edu". I wanted my .edu to be my actual email address, but my gmail address is what was ending up in people's address books.
So I tried out Fastmail with my alias and had no trouble getting it working the way I wanted it to work. So I've been with Fastmail ever since.

- superuser2 11y agoI have my GMail configured to send email from my .edu address through my school's SMTP server. Fastmail supports this too. Look at your IT department's website, they probably explain how to configure it.

This doesn't happen if you configure an external SMTP server in Google Mail for the alias. http://gmailblog.blogspot.de/2009/07/send-mail-from-another-address-without.html http://gmailblog.blogspot.de/2009/07/send-mail-from-another-... https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en Moreover, you don't want to use a different 'from' address without sending through the appropriate SMTP server. If the domain has SPF or DKIM set up, a receiving server might reject your mail if it wasn't sent from an expected SMTP server.
