Mail reply address

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

I am sending mail from VMS to the outer world using the SYSTEM account.

However, I would like that all replies and problem announcing mails (such as rejected because...) go back to my personal mail address (xxx@ing.be).

Is that possible ? Without receiving/forwarding something on VMS ?

Wim,

Do a
DEFINE TCPIP$SMTP_FROM "xxx@ing.be"
before sending mail from VMS.

Nice ! It works. I can even send mail in the name of my boss (anything in the from).

Thx

Which is why TCPIP$SMTP_PROHIBIT_USER_HEADERS
exists.

Wilm, you can also supply the Human Readable format as well, e.g. :-

$ DEFINE TCPIP$SMTP_FROM "helpdesk@xxxxxx.co.uk (IT Helpdesk Team)"
$ DEASS TCPIP$SMTP_FROM
