I think it is not, see my other post on this subject.

No, it's not, as I explained. Gmail uses the From address that you
specified, but added the Sender header with your Gmail account in it.
Now your email agent usesdisplays the Sender address as the From, which
is misleading.

No, my mail client doesn'tdo that.

You cannot ditch the Send from the sent email, as this is something
Gmail automatically provides. Maybe as some kind of spam detector, which
is reasonable. Actually providing the Sender in situations like this is
what the RFC requires, so Gmail is totally, completely correct in doing
this. The problem is completely on the receiving side, but Dave has told
you how to solve it.
