Greetings!

I am sending out emails from oi721 using mapisendmail and it has been working great. Now I have a requirement to use a specific "From:" email address, but when I enter an email address other than the Outlook client sending it, the from changes to that Outlook client.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

G'day David,

I'm pretty sure that you can't change the From address. MAPI uses the From email address setup in your outlook account settings.

If you want to control the FROM address then try using SENDMAIL or SMTPMAIL functions

The SENDMAIL works for me to change the From.

There is a DLL out there somewhere called "BLAT" which allows you to send mail without using MAPI. I'v used it myself with success, and you have more control about what goes than when you use MAPI. Also can be used on clients that have no MAPI-complient mail client loaded.
