Lebanese_007 -> How to stop the email address from showing up? (4.Jan.2007 12:41:21 PM)

Hi all,
I have an application that sends emails through our exchange server, how can i remove the "from" field for that particular user?

Thanks in advance.

What mechanism does this application use to send messages to the Exchange server?  SMTP commands?  MAPI?  The Outlook client?

SMTP.

How much control do you have in sending the individual SMTP commands?
What would you like the "From" field to display?

The application that i'm using has a tool that sends emails through the exchange server.... it has fields like To: From: subject:.....

what i'm seeing in the "from:" field is the username that is authenticating with exchange and the username that it sending on behalf, ie:
localUserName@ourcompany.com; on behalf of; mike@company2.com

Can that be changed? for something like just the person that is sending the email ie: mike@company2.com

thanks alot for your help.

Sorry - that's completely under the control of your application.  I can tell you how to accomplish what you want using SMTP commands, but it sounds like the application has its own SMTP engine (as most do).

You're going to have to search for an answer with the manufacturer of that application.

If i sent it to my yahoo account, i don't see the on behalf thing. if i sent it to one of the email within the company it showa the on behalf thing.

so i think it is from exchange. would  you think?

thanks again for your time.

I think I misunderstood your original question.  I thought you wanted to change the From address either to be blank, or to some other format.

In Exchange 2003, there are two different features.  One is "Send on Behalf", which is configured in Delivery Options.  The other is "Send as", which is a Security setting.  In ADUC, open the object in question and go to the Security tab.  Add the account your are logged into the application as, and check "Send as" in the list.

You have to check Advanced Features in ADUC to see the Security tab.
