Virtual host username shows in emails

[Juhamkum]

Hi,

 

I am struggling with some annoying features on my newly chosen hosting service. All the emails sent from osCommerce using local SMTP-server are applied the following information:

 

Mailed-by: [email protected]

 

I like to clarify, that the username that shows is the username I use to login to the hosting service control panel, and the server number is the www-server my files are located in. The complete sender information would be something like:

 

From: [email protected] on behalf of [email protected]

 

The latter part, [email protected] is the actual information I would like the receivers of email to see, but without the preceding hosting service information. I have tried to change the sendmail_from value in php.ini as well, but it makes no difference on the final output.

 

Hosting provider replied to my message as follows: "There is always a trace when sending emails, you cannot remove the information of the sending account".

 

Should I go through the trouble of implementing the use of external SMTP such as google account or such? I would surely prefer "Mailed-by: google.com" over to the aforementioned "username.in...".

 

Any help is appreciated!
