email-spoofing

I am wondering if it is possible to change the From: field (not just the reply-to) in Outlook (specifically in the 2010 beta, but also interested in other versions).

I am just moving over from Linux and am used to being able to do this quite simply in some clients.

At first I thought it was the option of "Other E-Mail address" on the From drop down menu in a compose window, but that seems to do... nothing!

I want to be able to do this so I can have email look like it comes from a domain I own but do not wish to run an SMTP server on.

On some people does not show any mail, and only some mails in others. I've tried re-indexing and recreating the profile,… >>> More

If I don't want subdomains to send out email, do I need SPF records for them?

I have a main domain with (now) valid SPF record, but we also programmatically create lots and lots of subdomains for clients via cpanel PHPXML API. These subdomains are not intended to send any mail. When we create them, they are getting an A record of my ip, and a TXT record of "v=spf1 +a +mx… >>> More
