I don't know how to update the referenced site, but I have a comment on:

Update 3: Reader Derek Bennett says, "The solution is to go into your gmail Settings:Accounts and "Make default" an account other than your gmail account. This will cause gmail to re-write the From field with whatever the default account's email address is."

You don't have to change the default the email address you wish to appear as To:. In GMail, you can have multiple confirmed email addresses. If the To: address in the email being sent via GMAIL SMTP is one of the conformed ones, GMail will not rewrite it.
