Answer 1

Thanx to @Andersen, I got the solution. In gmail we have option in which we can change our mail id and make it look like it is coming from some different id while replying.

1) Go to settings in gmail 
2) Click on Accounts
3) Send mail as: Click on Add another email address you own
4) Provide the email id you wish to appear as "Sender ID"
5) provide SMTP connection details which you can see once you login to your mailgun account and click on domain.

6) Save the settings, now when you are replying we can change from id to our custom domain id.

Enjoy

You need something to make the message leave your gmail inbox.

This can either be a rule in gmail itself (been a while, do not know what forwarding rules they have at the moment) or to use a client that reads a mailbox and resend the messages.

This is what the Unix utility fetchmail does, but you can easily use the java mail package to access gmail using IMAP and then create new messages based on these which you then send though your own SMTP server.

If at all possible use existing code! This is a bit tricky to get 100% right.
