Sending Email

When I send email through webmail from myname@mysite.com to myname@hotmail.com it arrives fine and the header looks as follows…

…But when I send an email through Outlook 2002 from myname@mysite.com to myname@hotmail.com its gets routed through AOL’s relay servers and ends up showing my AOL account in the “X-Apparently-From” field in the header as follows.

Is there something I can do in Outlook 2002 so it gets sent without going through the relay servers? Anyone know why it would get sent directly in webmail but not in Outlook?

Make sure you add your domain email account to Outlook, then, send using that account.

You probably have outlook configured to send mail thtough your default mail account --> AOL

Thanks for the reply but I don't have an AOL account configured in Outlook. I added an account with the POP3 and SMTP servers set to mail.mysite.com and am sending using that account. The only other two accounts setup in Outlook are my hotmail account and my college account.

AOL does not even work like pop i have no idea how your doing this..

[jkohout]

Well, I have determined that its AOL 8, because it works fine in AOL 7. Still don't know how to fix it in 8 though.

Even though you set your mail client to send through mail.yourdomain.com, AOL hijacks the connection and forces the mail to go through its own SMTP server first. They do that to cut down on spam. The only thing you can do to avoid that is to use a non-AOL Internet connection... sorry.
