I'm testing Google Apps for Your Domain (GAYFD) as an email provider for my domain name business. With it you can set up many user accounts and you can also set up many nicknames (alias's) for each user.
So, I'm thinking of setting up a few nicknames for my main account and use the various nicknames for different aspects of my business. For example, if my main sign on is [email protected], I might set up a nickname under John for [email protected]. By doing this and other nicknames, I can sign in once under john@mydomain, yet using gmail "accounts" can send, receive and respond with nicknames like doimain.manager@mydomain. If I had instead set up individual email accounts for all of these, I'd have to sign in for each of them. But with the nicknames, I can sign in once with [email protected] and gmail "accounts" and "labels" will tag email as to whom they came from and put them in tag "folders". It's pretty nifty.
But here is my question as it relates to the domain name business:
I want to assign one for these nicknames ([email protected]) as the whois contact information. for my names. I don't believe there is any problem. But I just want to check.
When inspecting the message source for a message sent from [email protected] I see the following (and more):
The from and reply address will be as I want it to be "[email protected]. But there is that line in there "Sender: [email protected]". I don't know how this affects anything? Do any registrars look at this line in the message source and see that it doesn't match up with the "from?" Do they care? Lots of email services allow aliases so it's hard to believe they would care. But before spending many days changing things up I just want to check.
Anyone know?
