Customizable display name
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 12:53 pm
Hi all,
In my company we need to be able to send out emails with a customizable from name. What I mean by that is, for example:
When the recipient receives the email their client should list the address as being
<”From name”> email@domain.com.
With our old server this was never a problem, but now the “from name” gets replaced with the display name in scalix. I realize I could change the display name in SAC each time, but that would get a little annoying. We send out multiple emails for different companies, all through the same address, and they all want there own name in the "From name" or "display name". I was able to do this just fine if the account wasn't a defined account on the mail server, but I would like to be able to get the non-delivery notices etcetera.
Just as a note, the program that we use to send the emails doesn't support SMTP authentication, so I had to change smptd.cfg to allow it to send un-authenticated. If anyone has any Ideas as to how I can do this, please let me know.
