Dear all,

SLES 11 PL3 and postfix

Postfix is configured with gmail account.

I’m sending sample email:

```auto
echo "test" | mailx -s "test" nieca@interia.pl
```

incoming email in my outlook looks like this - can I hide or modify this gmail email ?

Regards  
GN

I assume that you mean you’re using Gmail as the outgoing SMTP server, using your Gmail account to log in to GMail’s server.

AFAIK, Gmail does not allow sending mails with sender addresses other than that of the Gmail account, neither via web interface nor via SMTP.

So the answer to your question would be “no, you cannot change it”.

Regards,  
Jens
