Shal,

Depending on your email service, you may be able to create an "account" within your email address which has the group's +owner email address. With Gmail or Yahoo Mail you'll be required to prove that you are authorized to use that address - they'll send a confirmation email to it.

How would I go about setting up that account?
I know it's possible to have more than one identity, which seems to be what Bill talked about here:

Thunderbird can handle multiple different email accounts. If you have more than one account set up, when composing a reply there's a dropdown in the From field in the compose window and there you can choose any of your accounts.?

But when I try to set up a different one from my own email, for example, the message won't be sent no matter what I do :(
Is this what you are talking about?

However I have done it successfully using a different address known to Thunderbird and that has gone through OK.

What would be an address "known to Thunderbird"?
I have two accounts configured. Would I then be able to send a message through my Yahoo account simulating the other account that I have? If so, that's nice, but I'll never be able to use the +owner address using this technique unless I make it known to Thunderbird. And how can I make a "virtual address" to be known to Thunderbird? :(

Technically spoofing I know, but I have done what I think you are trying to do in Thunderbird going out through btinternet.com. ?

I can do that myself (spoof an email address) but only with my ISP
email. I tried it with some webmail accounts and it didn't work for
me.?

Apparently, these days it doesn't work for most of the email providers. As far as I could see Yahoo is one of them, but I'm trying to find out if I missed some step before trying it again.

Shal,

The kind of "account" I'm referring to is something you set up on the Accounts and Import tab of the options page of Gmail's web interface. There's a Send mail as field where you can add more addresses. It doesn't create a new email address or inbox, just an ability to use that address when sending messages via Gmail's server.

In Yahoo Mail it is in the Mailboxes tab of the More Settings page, under Send-only email address.?

Hmmm, I guess that's what I'm missing. I've never set up this option on my Yahoo email. Maybe this is why the message isn't being sent when I try changing the "from" field?

Well, I guess I've covered all the answers given so far. And maybe it's not on?? topic for this list anymore (sorry if it's the case, I've only realised it now). Is there another place where we can talk about it, that is, if you guys are interested, without perhaps cluttering up the list with something that may not be of interested for everyone?

Thanks for the time taken to help me. It's much appreciated.
