I'm guessing OldGuy's concern is that GMail's SMTP server replaces the
From address of any mail sent through it with the GMail address used to
authenticate with the server. So:
- Read an email sent to Hotmail account.
- Reply; SeaMonkey sets the From: address to the Hotmail account.
- Send through GMail's SMTP server.
- GMail rewrites the From: address to the GMail address.
- Recipient sees the email as coming from the GMail address, not the
Hotmail address.
You're supposed to be able to add other addresses to your GMail
account and then be able to send from those without this happening,
but I've never got that to work.
Interesting theory. I have a Gmail account, but have never set up a
Gmail SMTP server -- I just use one of my other SMTP servers. (since I
despise webmail, I access Gmail via POP like my other accounts) I didn't
even know Gmail /had/ an SMTP server until now.
Some SMTP servers (particularly those for free mail accounts or ISPs)
refuse to even accept mail with a different From: address.
Yeah, I've seen that. But our guy didn't say his Hotmail messages
wouldn't go out, just that he didn't want them going through the Gmail
server.
