smtpmal send : how to keep from address

[Hadron Quark]

How do I stop the smtp send replacing the "from address" to that of my
smtp server account?

		 (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
		 (setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)))
		 (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "SMTPSERVER" nil)))
		 (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
		 (setq smtpmail-smtp-service 587)

where SMTPSERVER here is a gmail account which I wish to use as an smtp
send server.

The problem is that somewhere along the line the "from" address set up in
my gnus-posting-styles are changed to be SMTPSERVER@googlemail.

thanks for any info.

By the way does gnus or any other mail program you use, get stuck
when you send a message mine does, so for example when using feedmail
for sending queued mails, I have to interrupt after every send mail
and restart it. Very annoying
