Sending an email from an account alias to Google Apps for domain

Question

Google

There is a domain in Google apps for domain.
A mail account of the form [email protected] has been created
. It also has aliases: [email protected], [email protected], etc.
But using the password of the noreply account, it is not possible to send mail from its aliases (using SMTP).
Nobody faced this? Or do aliases only work for incoming emails?

Answer 1

In general, it worked out.
You need to specify the main username in the config as user_name, and specify the alias in from.

  production:
    email_delivery:
      delivery_method: :smtp
      smtp_settings:
        enable_starttls_auto: true
        address: "smtp.gmail.com"
        port: '587'
        domain: "example.com"
        authentication: :plain
        user_name: '[email protected]'
        password: '123456'
        from: '[email protected]'

Answer 2

They work the same for outgoing calls. Although we use Google's SMTP only for development purposes. For production, something a la MailChimp is still better

Answer 3

Do you need to send emails from a third party email program via smtp?
If the web interface is enough, you can set up aliases as separate accounts: Settings - Accounts - Send emails as - "Add your other email address". Add as additional addresses and then choose which address to send from.

Answer 4

As far as I remember, you can't even enter the Google interface with an alias. So apparently it will not work.
