The issue has something to do with security why I can not
seem to accomplish the following. I would like to have a
different address then the account from which I'm sending.
Manually adding the name is no problem, but doing this 20
times a day is annoying. Via a macro I can get it to
create a new email with the proper "from" filled in, but
this is no use when replying to emails.

Does anyone know how to have all outbound emails
automaticaly sent with a predifined name in the from field?
 
Are you already using CDO to change the Sender property? Or are you using
VBA to change the SentOnBehalfOfName property? The latter only changes the
display name of the sender, not the actual e-mail address (which is derived
from the primary account information). If the user replies to the message,
it will use the address from the associated account that was used to send it
as the reply destination.

This is how you change the Sender with CDO:

If you need this changed for every e-mail you send out, why not change the
address in your account setup?
