I set up a Mail-in database for multiple developers to participate in a Midrange Server usergroup for support purposes. I can receive e-mail in the database without a problem.
When I send e-mail from the Mail-in DB, I’d like it to appear that it is coming from the Mail-in DB’s internet address.
Right now when I send mail it appears to come from me, and not the mail-in DB (midrange@mydomain.com)
Any suggestions or advice is appreciated.

Hi,
every mail database has an owner who is set in the preferences of the mail database.
Is somebody sends mails from a mail database it is send as if it were from this owner BUT with a remark
“Send by:” and the name of the actuall user.
If this is not sufficient for you then there is no other easy way without programming how to send mails “as” somebody else.
Hope this helps.
Bye

Hi,
Hynek is right. What you can do is remove the mail in database document from the DD. Then create a person document giving the same mail file, and the same internet address. Then create an agent to send mail as this user. You should set principal & replyto fields.

Daniel

Thank you for the replies.
I resolved the problem by creating a person document for the database already created, and changing the properties in the user document to only allow admins, servers, etc (no people) to have read access to that person document. I also assigned permissions in the database ACL for the users that will be using the database.
This has allowed mail to be sent and received properly, as well as keeping it hidden from the rest of the users’ address books.
Thanks again
