My prob. is that when i send a mail through web using any id @mailsend(“…”)by formula lang. in lotus notes R6 i get server name in places of sender name, although using samething in client is working perfectly. what could be the cause of getting server name in place of sender name while processing document in web.

… you can set “run as webuser” on the agent properties.

The only problem here is that the webuser will then have to have the authority to run agents on the server. You might be better off to look at “Run on behalf of” for the agent.

hi,

well its not an agent. i am using @mailsend(…) with parameters in an action. this use to work fine in domino R5 and show the username as sender. In R6 i m facing this trouble whrere it is sending the server name as sender on web.

This means your agent is signed by the server. In R6 it should no longer use the server name unless the agent is signed by the server (NOTE that in previous releases shared formula agents always generated mail that came from the server other than in ‘run as web user’ scenario on the web). You will find a lot of relevant information on the Agent FAQ. Start with ‘decoding ND6 agents’ which explains the changes. Document explaining security will explain how the authority under which the agent is running and sending mail is determined depending on how the agent is invoked. “troubleshooting agents in R5 and R6” is another good reference for this. Agent FAQ has tables which make it easier to understand the rules since there are several variables that control the behavior.
