Thanks Dennis,
Basically the incoming and outgoing servers are called the same -
mail.mysite.co.uk.
I already asked support and there response was...
I've checked with our engineers, and I'm afraid that the server is
doing exactly what it's meant to be doing, and there isn't a way round
it. This is configured this way for security purposes to make it easy
to track down compromised scripts. Please be aware that the "On Behalf
Of" message will only show on some mail clients.
Major pain!!
Mike
