Send FM/personal domain mail from Gmail
I have a personal domain that I use for email at FM. I'd also like to send mail "From: xxx@<domain.com>" from Gmail without that sender-id/on behalf of tags Google adds. I read the FM info to use mail.messagingengine.com (25,26,587/465) which I did but then Gmail also asks for a username and password. What do I provide? my FM username and password or the name I use with my domain?
Gmail keeps saying it can't contact the server. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Russ |

When you say "I'd also like to send mail ... from Gmail" I'm not sure how this could involve Fastmail resources.
You can send your emails through webmail or a local email client. This gives you several choices for sending email, and only some of these involve Fastmail resources.

Nope, you may not be aware (not your fault ) that GMail started (2 days ago) to offer the possibility to use another SMTP server when sending with another email adress than your GMail account, thus making the "Sender Id" disappear from the header tag. I think the OP is trying to enter his FM credentials in GMail, and it doesn't work. @RLBrooks Use your FM username (including the domain part) and your password. |

The fix
I asked FM support for help and they showed me what was wrong. In particular I was using the wrong port with SSL, it needed to be 465.
587 is for non-SSL. Russ |
