Infopath mail within MOSS 2007

Troy

Hello,

We have Infopath integrated with MOSS 2007. When an Infopath form is filled
out and sent to email enabled distribution groups, the email cannot be
received by our DG because we have restricted the DG to only allow domain
users to send to it (to prevent external recipients from spamming our DG).
Since the there is no account associated with the email smtp address used by
Infopath, it is not considered part of the domain, thus it has no privilege
to send to these DGs. If we switch the permission to Everyone to send to the
DGs, it works, but that is explicitly against our security policies, and we
have thousands of DGs set up this way.

We have tried to associate the primary account that we use to send all
Infopath email to a mailbox (like a resource mailbox) in our exchange
environment, but we found that it is not possible. Or is it? We were unable
to get it to work in that manner. Basically, would it be possible to
associate the primary smtp address used by Infopath for emails to be
associated with AD/Exchange so it can be part of the Domain users group, thus
allowing permission to send to our many DGs?

Thank you,

Troy

Troy,

If you are sending regular InfoPath forms by e-mail, it should use the
sender's client e-mail settings. For browser-enabled forms in InfoPath
Services, it uses the e-mail account set up in Central Administration for
the server, not an InfoPath-specific account. If Alerts are working, then
InfoPath should also work.

Go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Web Application
Outgoing E-Mail Settings. All three fields need to be filled out. Just make
sure that you use a registered domain account. The e-mail will appear to be
sent from this account, but the authenticated user's address should appear
in the body. This will appear as Anonymous User if you have Anonymous access
enabled.

Hope this helps.
