Is it possible to use at a certain mail account specific smtp servers, belonging to specific aliases?
I am using evolution, version 3.52.3-0ubuntu1. The mail client is configured with multiple aliases for a certain mail account. To prevent problems with DMARC-Policy, where an Email cannot be delivered because the user@domain is sent from a mail server from an other domain, I would like to send an e-mail with a specific alias using a specific smtp server.
When searching in google, a search result mentions this is possible when navigating to the mail account, and clicking on the Identity tab and then at the specific Alias. But the only thing I can edit there is the Alias name.
Also, at the Sending Email tab, there is only the option to set the smtp server of one single account.
Does someone know how this can be done? Or does there exist an smtp daemon in the background, which is able to handle this?
Hi,
yes, you can do it. The Aliases you use are always for a single SMTP
server (mail account). What you can do in your case is to split the
aliases into send-only accounts. You just File->New->Mail Account, then
in the Receiving Email you set None server type (not IMAP nor any
other), and then you use the SMTP server you prefer. The Identity tab
will have the alias as its main address, and if more aliases can share
the same SMTP server then you enter the others in the Aliases section
as before.
Thanks for your reply. I would like to try this, but do you know if e-mails are sent, will be placed each in its own “sent items” folder? Or will these aliases all share the same folder for sent items? (Which I prefer)
