From E-mail and FormIt

I have a bit of an issue. My company operates dozens of web sites, but all e-mail is served via Gmail. We have customers sending e-mails to [email protected], which gets sent to [email protected]. All good. However, I need to use auto-responders for FormIt and I need the FROM e-mail to be [email protected]. When I set &emailFrom and/or &fiarFromName to [email protected] it delivers the e-mail as:

No good.

MODx authenticates the SMTP user in system_settings, which we have setup as [email protected]... but, is there a way to override the exposure of <[email protected]> in the From Address?

I believe that's a function of gmail's servers, a security measure to prevent spoofing and spamming. I know there is a way to configure your gmail account to use a different from address, although it's been a couple of years since I did that, and I forget how it's done.

Correct, if your from address differs from the actual sender the message is typically red-flagged as spam and would rarely reach your recipient. I would set up a no-reply address for the auto-responder so it is evident that the account does not accept replies and state so prominently in the auto-responder.
