Hey Guys
For many years we have been trying to find an ‘easy’ way to have the replies from a Mailin Database / Group Mailbox / Positional Mail File eg. sales@xyz.com.au have the From field set to sales@xyz.com.au
Maybe we have missed something with Domino configuration.
So as a better explaination
An email is sent to sales@xyz.com.au ← The Mailin Database / Group Mailbox / Positional Mail File (Everyone seems to have different names for this)
Then John Smith replies to the email
From is now - John.Smith@xyz.com.au
From becomes - sales@xyz.com.au
How do you handle the replies from a Mailin Database / Group Mailbox / Positional Mail File ???
TIA

Subject: Create hierarchical mailin db name
Hi,
i create the name of the mailin database hierachical. So my mailin document is named xyz/DominoOrg (the field is multivalue, you can add the old name on second place), now i can use the mailin doc as mailfile owner. I set the smtp mailaddress in the mailin doc too, so answers from this database have the sender address of the mailin db.
Regards
Chris
Subject: Several ways
Just had this discussion a while ago on linkedin in the group “Lotus Notes/Domino Technologies (7.000+ members) http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=73034&trk=anet_ug_hm”
The preferred way is use the DominoTeam Mailbox from openntf.
Other options are:

Or Steve’s option:
Steve Knight http://www.linkedin.com/groups?viewMemberFeed=&gid=73034&memberID=4742817 • As part of an automatic database creation system for helpdesk I wrote for one customer it would request basic information then go away and create all their standard ACL groups, the database, replicas on different servers etc. and send the relevant users details of it and the groups they could administer. When needed for replying to a mail-in we just set the mail file owner as part of this LotusScript creation code, then sending a mail from within that database works in the same way as sending from someone else’s mail file, i.e. From (real name) and Reply-To (the database) show.
Dim calprofile As notesdocument
Set calprofile=dbNew.GetProfileDocument( “calendarprofile”)
calprofile.Owner=uidoc.fieldgettext(“mailindbname”)
Call calprofile.computewithform(False,False)
Call calprofile.save(False,False)
Set calprofile=Nothing
Maybe this helps?
Subject: Deposit email directly into mail.box
The best way to make the address look like it is coming from the mail-in database is to deposit it directly into mail.box. That is (IIRC) what the Domino Team Mailbox is doing…
Back in 2011, I posted a class on my blog that helps in sending mail notification. In it, I use the mail.box trick to set the sender if you set the principal property.

That should be easy to add to your database.
