Sending mails without sender's address

D

Daniel

I need to send greetings to customers and I do not want them to see that it
is me who sends the email, but I will indicate at the end that it is from the
management. Is there any way I can send out a mail without my emails address
being shown? Please help...Thanks!

What type of mail server are you sending via?

Hi Muffman, Thanks. I am sending through Exchange 2003

Then the easiest solution is to get Send As permissions to a DL that you
want to send as and put that in the From field when you compose the message.
If you need to do a mail merge, you'd have to ask for a mailbox to be set up
with the address you want, log into that mailbox and do the mailmerge using
that mailbox.

Regardless, it's going to take working with the Exchange Admin to get things
set up the way you want it to be. Or, find some third party mail merge
software that would simply use SMTP to send the message and allow you to put
whatever you want in the from field and not use Outlook at all.

I don't undertand your point 1, can you simplify? (Then the easiest solution

in the From field when you compose the message.) - Thanks.

Put whatever string you want in the E-mail field in the e-mail account
defined in Outlook. That won't stop them from tracking you down if
those "greeting card" e-mails turn out to be like the recent spate of
virally infected greeting card e-mails. However, if you are using
Exchange as your e-mail server, it is likely it was configure to toss
away what you enter in the E-mail field in the e-mail and force the
From header to contain the e-mail address that is assigned to your
mailbox in Exchange. The company doesn't care about your personal
needs and wants to ensure that every employee is identified in the
e-mails they send, especially to outsiders. If they override the From
header that you try to use, you'll have to work with them to provide
an account with attributes that you want identified to the recipients.

Folks in the Exchange newsgroups should know how to configure
mailboxes regarding what they report in the From and other return path
headers for e-mails sent to outsiders.

Are you the Exchange Admin? If no, talk to them about what you want to do.
They should, theoretically, understand exactly what needs to be done.
Seriously. All the setup needs to be done on the server so that you can
send the mail from the client. You can't do it without their assistance.

If you are the Exchange Admin and you don't understand what needs to be
done, I'd first recommend a little Exchange training, because this is pretty
basic when it comes to Exchange functionality. After that, create the DL
and make sure the email address it gets is the one you want mail to be from
and that the display name is what you want to see. Then, in the Exchange
Admin MMC, on the permissions of the DL, make sure that your domain account
has Send As permissions. Then, when you compose a message, click on View -
From (or wherever it is in OL2k7) and put in the DL for the From field.
