I set up Gmail with an embarrassing username I created as a teenager which my friends and family use (let's call it lolz@gmail.com
), then later created a serious e-mail account (my.name@gmail.com
) which I use as alias via Send mail as
feature from my lolz@gmail.com
.
Recently I was shocked to discover that e-mails sent via my alias my.name@gmail.com
had lolz@gmail.com
in the Sender
header.
The Treat as an alias
option doesn't seem to have any effect on this.
Has anyone found a way to dispose of the Sender
header?
Edit
Here you can see the Sender (and others) header. You can access it by clicking on the "details" arrow in mail detail (right top of the mail) and then "Show original".
Redacting colors meaning:
- blue: recipient (ok)
- pink: lolz@gmail.com (NOT ok)
- green: my.name@gmail.com (ok)
