Although this may be an obvious bug to many, I just discovered it, almost accidentally. Turns out using “Send As” does not effectively block your gmail identity. Some services such as Yahoo! Groups, for example, check more headers than just the from. Although the from header will show up as the identity you wish, a sender header is added that states your Gmail address. For example, a message I sent distantly ended up with headers like this:

From: "My Fake Name" <myfakeaddress@yahoo.com>

Sender: mygmailaccount@gmail.com

Note the sender header. I can only give a good guess at the reason. Personally, I think it’s to prevent spam, taking over to world, etcetera, but how’s that make sense? If you feel like there’s a reason I didn’t mention (anything better, really), and you’re one of the few to read this blog, feel free to comment.
