From field in emails says "On Behalf Of"instead of just account name

Hi,

I have two different accounts set up in my Entourage, one we'll call Main, the other let's call Admin. Both are POP.

When I send from the Main account everything is fine. When I send from the Admin account, the From says "Main account on behalf of Admin". This is not good, I need the from to actually say "Admin", not "on behalf of Admin".

This used to work fine in Entourage X, I just recently migrated to 2008. I'm also receiving duplicate emails, but only for the Main account (not sure if this issue is connected somehow?). Is there something about how 2008 handles accounts that is different and is causing me grief?

Thanks!

The "On Behalf Of" tag comes from the Sender header. Assuming you have not
added a Custom Sender Header, it's probably being added by your SMTP server.
Talk to your provider about whether this behavior can be stopped.
