[Cialug] OT, .. gmail oddity??

Have a user that uses a server setup to relay through gmail - the 
server logs into gmail with <servername at domain.com>, .. and the user 
has his own email setup as <user at domain.com>. Checking his email 
client settings, it appears that all instances of his 'identity' are 
properly set to <user at domain.com>, but his, and only his, emails are 
coming through from "user name" <servername at domain.com> instead of 
<user at domain.com> (i.e. the return email address is the server gmail 
account, *NOT* the user email)!

The mail log entries seem to show proper operation:

Nov 24 12:36:49 <servername> postfix/smtpd[7888]: AE7108DE: 
client=unknown[192.168.0.119], sasl_method=LOGIN, sasl_username=user at domain.com

Nov 24 12:36:51 <servername> postfix/qmgr[4262]: AE7108DE: removed

Has anyone experienced this sort of gmail oddity or have I perhaps 
missed something?
