The infamous FROM field

[Jon LaBarge]

We have a need to set up a user to send email from a 'generic' account. The
way I have it set up is that I gave this person Owner permissions over that
mailbox, and Send on Behalf permissions. This seemed to work, however, the
emails are showing up Sent by: %username% on behalf of %'Generic' Mailbox
name%. I can't seem to determine how to make it come from %'generic' mailbox
name% without the Sent on Behalf attached. I removed the Send on Behalf
permissions and now the emails bounce back to her. I know this is possible
because we have a working scenario of this for another user (who happens to
have domain admin rights). Would this require Domain Admin rights and if
not, any ideas on how to make this work?

TIA!

We do this where I work. To remove the on behalf of you need to contact the
Exchange Server Admisitrators, who should be able to do this for you. I am
presuming you are on an Exchange.

Hope this helps.

You need send as permission set on the mailbox - ask the admin to configure
it for you.
