Send mail from a different account about gmail-delay-send

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've been sending these messages to myself to see what the sender field looks 
like, and I always get something like this.
If I send from my Gmail account - all works as expected.
If I send from another account within Gmail, (let's say [email protected]) 
then in the email which is received, the sender details looks like this 
(account names changed btw): 
from:                    [email protected] via maestro.bounces.google.com 
sender time:     Sent at 07:45 (UTC). Current time there: 07:47. ✆
reply-to:            Nathan <[email protected]>
to:                  Nathan <[email protected]>
date:                    23 January 2012 07:45
subject:            Does this come from which email address?
mailed-by:          maestro.bounces.google.com
:                   Important mainly because it was sent directly to you.

Is maestro.bounces.google safe or there is a way to avoid using it. Please 
advise.

Hello ucahp3,

  Currently from the Gmail Apps Script API all email is sent through the
maestro server.  There haven't been any reported cases of email coming from
maestro getting filtered, so in that sense it's safe to use.

  Does this answer your questions?

Thanks!

Blair,

I want to use the gmail merge to send information to by clients, but I believe 
it would go to their spam box with the maestro.bounces.google.com attached.  
What do you recommend.  Should I do it from Outlook?

Hello Eric,

  This is a tough thing to advice you on. Personally I've experienced many instances of messages from Gmail (regular messages, NOT from "maestro") getting filtered when sending specifically to Outlook clients.

  I'm not sure if messages from "maestro" would add to the chances of this happening, but I can tell you that nobody has reported this so far. Also all the modern email client's spam filters are based on machine learning algorithms, so the more emails that are sent via "maestro" and not considered spam the lower the chances of your message getting filtered.

  In general without the recipient responding in some way (via email or clicking on an individualized link within the email) I'm not sure you can ever totally verify that you're email hasn't been filtered on their side.

  Sorry I can't be much help, but thanks for checking out the script!

Considering some are spamming via that I can see why it's being filtered as 
spam. I got spam from a gmail user to my whois listed address for a domain 
trying to sell me a domain name.

Return-Path: 
<[e-mail]
le.com>

Really great script and much needed feature.  However, this "bug" is a show 
stopper for me.  I use gmail for my work address and have my gmail account 
defaulting to use my work email address, but using delayed send it reverts back 
to the gmail account which is just not professional.  I will be anxiously 
awaiting and see if there is someway around this problem.

Hello symes,

Yes I agree this is a very constricting issue. There is a bug filed against the 
Google Apps Script API: 
http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=172. You 
can star it to receive any updates they make.

Not sure if this alternative would work for you, but you could setup the script 
to run under you work credentials. This would mean of course that you would 
have to login to that account to create your draft emails, but w/ Chrome's user 
switching it could be easier than it sounds.

Thanks for checking out the script!

Hi,

I am not very knowledgeable in scripts but was very happy to find this and was 
able to use it... the install instructions was easy enough to understand... 
thank you...

my question is, is there a way to change the sender name from gmail address 
([email protected]) to the one i set in gmail settings? the one you can change 
in "send mail as"... some of my relatives deleted my mails when i use this to 
send them greetings because they were used to seeing the one i was regularly 
using...thanks

Hello barbrownium,

Sorry no, there is no way to currently change who the message comes from. There 
is a defect filled out against the Google Script API (see posting above). You 
can star that and receive updates on their progress if you would like.

Thanks for checking out the script!

Hello vishal.pog,

Yes your clients can still respond, depending on their email client they will 
see something like the attached image when responding to your mail.

Thanks for checking out the script!

I encountered this bug this morning and added support for using the From 
address from the draft as the from address, rather than as Reply-to.  It works 
as expected, with the name and address from the Gmail custom From. 
The patch is in my cloned repository.

the upstream bug has been fixed for more than a month:
http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=172#c53

please implement this feature using the new GmailApp.getAliases() function!
thanks a lot

Please fix this bug, since it makes it for businesses completely unusable!

This bug is fixed in the new version of Gmail Delay Send which will be released 
soon (closing this now so I can better track which bugs still need to be 
addressed).

For updates on the new version please 'star' this issue:
