Yeah, but it does not work properly when sending via mail clients...

OK, so Gmail and Gmail-hosted domains can now send e-mail via an external SMTP server if it supports authenticated SMTP.

There is just one very, very small detail someone missed out somewhere: this only seems to work with Gmail's webmail interface (including their iPhone/iPod webmail interface), as far as I can tell so far. If one sends their Gmail or Gmail-hosted domain e-mail messages to Gmail via authenticated SMTP, Gmail does not then on-send it via that external SMTP server; the message is sent directly from Gmail. That and the address in the Sender: header you were hoping to completely hide ends up in the Return-Path: header instead.

Oh well. It is a start, somewhat.
