Hi, Not sure if this will help, but when I was living in the UK, I used "adsl24" for my internet connection. Before that, I used ntl (taken over by virgin...) I have always been using my own SMTP server, using the ISP-SMTP server as the relay-host. Not sure if virgin changed the settings after taking over NTL, but with them, my 'from' address was never changed. Would be difficult as I would not actually log-in to their SMTP server. Maybe setting up your local SMTP-server using the virgin one as a relay might solve your issue? FYI: I use postfix for this and have the following in the "main.cf" file: -- relayhost = [<SMTP of my ISP>] -- Hope this helps, Joost PS. I am not in any way affiliated with adsl24, but they are quite cheap and are clued up about Linux
