Sending From different address

[John Cranston]

This has probably been covered before, but is there a way to send an e-mail
from a program using the Outlook Object Model (with or without Outlook
Redemption) and have the e-mail sender address be a different address? You
can do it from the Outlook GUI, by showing the From Field and cahnging it,
but not from the API.

The configuration consists of Outlook 2000, Outlook Redemption, Exchange
Server 5.5. We need to have e-mails sent from an application, but have the
sender address and display name be a different address and name (in this
case, a customer service address, which is a shared mailbox). I tried using
SendOnBehalfOfName, but that shows both the names (the sender and the one
being sent on behalf of).

I tried setting PR_SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS using Redemptions Utils and it
didn't work.


Thanks in advance,
John Cranston

Yes, just set the MailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName property. The results will
depend on whether the sender has Send As or Send On Behalf Of permission for
the mailbox s/he is sending "from." Sounds like your sender has only the
latter and needs Send As instead.
