I had a client with exactly the same problem. She had a domain with a
number of addresses at that domain and found whatever mail she sent went
out with her @sky.com address on it. Doing a bit of digging, I found out
it is possible to use other addresses and domains with sky email. This
is old advice, but it may still be valid:

Using A Different From Address To Send Mail

1. Log in to your Sky Email account.
2. Click Mail Settings along the top of any page and then select the
Accounts tab.
3. Click Add another email address in the Send mail as section.
4. Enter your full name in the Name field and the email address you'd
like to send messages from in the Email address field.




My client cancelled their contract with Sky anyway. (The support was
awful anyway compared with Zen whom she'd moved from).

it's not quite that simple anyway. You can set a verified alternate
reply to address, but the way it's implemented not all mail clients
will display it as you'd expect. For example, if an Outlook user
receives a mail from a gmail customer using a custom reply to address
the "from" field will say "joe.bloggs(a)gmail.com on behalf of
joe.bloggs(a)personalemail.com". It's an irritant, and I'm assuming
it's done to encourage more people to use the @gmail.com address.
Still, Gmail is free and great so I'm putting up with it.

Unfortunately even with your gmail set up with your domains, when you
set up a gmail on your iPhone using the recommended exchange method, it
still sends mail via your gmail address instead of any of your default
domain addresses.

It also can't handle the 'reply using the address this arrived on'
either that Entourage can handle, maybe not so annoying to some, but if
you are running multiple emails or domains, you have to remember to
switch change the reply address if the message wasn't to the default
account.

Dave - thanks - this is what she found out she had to do - and it works as
you indicated.

To move from Zen to Sky is a truly remarkably bad thing to do - what on earth
possessed the client to do such a thing in the first place - drugs?
