First you have to tell us which mail client Bob uses. Then we can explain
how the mail client can be told which mail server to contact to send a
specific message as a different user.
I have several email accounts that are scanned by my client of choice,
Outlook 2003. In Tools->Email accounts, I have 4 email accounts listed, on
different POP/SMTP servers setups. One of them is my default. This means
that if I just compose a message and hit send, that message will be sent as
that default user through that default SMTP server.
However, if I want to send a message as a different user, I start composing
the message in Outlook and then I click on Accounts, and select the desired
user from the drop box. When I hit "send", the message will go out as that
user through that server.
If I receive a message as that user (different than default) and reply to
it, Outlook will send the reply as that user (different than default).
Since Bob is able to reply to a message sent to [log in to unmask] as
[log in to unmask], he has everything he needs to make this work. He just needs
to change the user on a message he starts from scratch.
I hope I understood you problem correctly.

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: Email Conundrum
I mentioned in a previous post that I was looking at doing VPN
between two sites. Still trying
to arrange for that broadband hookup at the second site...anyway...
At site1, we are connected through Comcast and they are hosting our
domain name for
email. Works great for us.
At site2, the user currently dials into Earthlink. He can receive
email from our domain name
mail server...lets say [log in to unmask] And if one of our customers or
suppliers sends him
an email, he can reply to it via [log in to unmask]
But he can't send anyone at site1 an email that way. He sends emails
to us as [log in to unmask]
and that (of course) works.
It would be nice if I could clean this situation up when he goes on
to Wireless broadband and
is able to connect to our network via VPN.
So that is the question. If he can logon to our network, could that
somehow change his email
situation as well? Or does the logon (quite probably) have nothing to
do with him logging on
to the site1 network?
The ISP for site2 will be different from Comcast, and if that alone
is creating the problem, then
I suppose it will still be a problem. It has something to do with
preventing emails being sent out
with a domain other than the one you are connected by.
Or perhaps there is some other instantly obvious amazing solution?
Please let me know.
