Using a different SMTP server for outbound mail does not use my specified reply email

B

I have a company email address where the domain cannot be changed for
incoming mail. However, for some reason the provider seems to have been
flagged as a SPAMMER by certain providers such as att.yahoo. I tried using
my gmail account for SMTP outgoing mail, which seemed to work fine until I
discovered that the reply address was for my private gmail account rather
than the company email reply... even though I had specified the company
email for reply in the account options for the SMTP server.

What gives? This seems to be an annoying bug... is there a fix for it?

Did you set up Gmail to "send as" your company email? In your Gmail account,
"Settings" link, "Accounts" tab: Configure your account to "Send mail as:".

This works for everything but Outlook. Even though I set gmail to use
(e-mail address removed) as you suggested below, it shows up in Outlook as
(e-mail address removed) in the From.

I don't want the gmail domain to be exposed.
