Hi!

I've setup a postfix server using smtp.gmail.com as smarthost. I can
send emails, but every email I send arrives to its destination as it was
sent from my gmail account. Any idea?

I think I followed the steps to setup the server from some web page, so
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. If you need to see the output from
postconf -n just ask me for it.

Thans in advance.

Bye!

Google are rewriting the from address when you use their server. It's not
your setup: read this from lifehacker howto:
