Re: Sending email with a "From" for end users

If you are going to use the SNDSMTPEMM command and want a friendly “from address” you’ll need to change the SMTP name associated with the userID that is running the job.
change the SMTP name for the userID running the job WRKDIRE, etc.

There are several new commands associated with sending email. Check the manuals for your version.

Hi,

We have some processes which send out emails. We had been using a third-party tool which rendered the from address as "[user-profile}@theway.org". I switched to using SNDSMTPEMM and the emails shows as being from "Computer Services." This was far better-all our users had no question of who to contact in response the any emails. I've recently noticed that SNDSMTPEMM is now showing as from "[user-profile}@theway.org". We recently went fully live with a MS-Exchange server for our email. I'm thinking the change in the "From" is due to this change.

Does anyone know how I can get an end-user-friendly "From" address on our emails? I would prefer to use something native and to and included with IBM i.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks,
