sending from non-pop account 1

[RobBroekhuis]

I have an e-mail address that's being forwarded by a domain registrar. Works just fine. Problem is, when I reply, the mail goes back with the forwarded address as "from", not the address at my domain. I understand that that may be inevitable as the default response in Outlook. But I'd like to be able to send mail FROM the domain address. I've been able to accomplish this by creating a new mail account in Outlook with that e-mail address, and setting both the pop and the smtp servers to those of my internet provider. I can send mail using that name now, but since there is no account for that user at the pop server, I have to "Cancel" out of the dialog asking for a username/password every time mail gets checked (Outlook won't let me set up an account with only an smtp server, no pop server). Is there a cleaner way of sending e-mail through Outlook from an address that has no POP access?
Thanks for any help!

On your POP account settings (the one which your domain mail is forwarded to) just set your email address as your domain address and not the POP account address. The account will still pick up mail from the POP box and send via the ISP's SMTP server but it will just appear to come from the domain name and not a POP account.

Thanks! That's actually what I did in the end, though you said it better
