My ISP has "formed a strategic partnership with Google to host our Email and Portal (Start Page) services..."  One result of this change is that the From e-address in Pegasus Mail under: Tools | Internet options | Internet Mail Options | General is ignored; now the From field of outgoing messages contain the e-address of the mail box instead.  Is there a way to configure things so that the From field e-address setting I've configured is maintained?

Well how about that, the GMail server are now replacing the Return-path: (original SMTP MAIL FROM:) and From: address in the message with the GMail address of the account.  I've been using the GMail SMTP Relay host in MercuryC in one of my Mercury/32 test setups and I can confirm via session logging that the mail goes to the server with the right From: data and comes out with the mail modified.

Obviously this is a anti-spam device to ensure that all mail through a GMail account has the email address of the GMail account. 

The only thing I can recommend is for you to use a different SMTP host to send the mail that does not modify the message body.  Might be tough if the ISP is also doing port 25 blocking.

One more thing, which ISP is this?

In addition, if you have a fixed IP address you can setup Mercury/32 on your system and send direct via the MercuryE end-to-end mailer.

Thanks for the information.  Normally the ISP, DSL Extreme, <https://www.dslextreme.com/>, does block Port 25 but it was easy to get them to unblock it.  Of course that came with warnings.

Now testing to see what I can do with the SMTP servers on the web host I use.  On one test, the From e-address on a message from a mail box with a different e-address was received unchanged at a Yahoo! test account but the message ended up in the spam folder.
