Lotusscript: From address when sending email as web user

I have a lotus-script agent which runs as Web User since I need to know who the current user is and process information accordingly. The problem is that when sending a email in this agent the From email address shows the web user email address rather than the one I have defined. I am setting the following fields before I send the email (as mime):

    mailDoc.Form = "Memo"
    mailDoc.Subject = strSubject
    mailDoc.InetSendTo = strFrom
    mailDoc.PostedDate = Now
    mailDoc.Principal = strFrom
    mailDoc.FROM = strFrom
    mailDoc.INETFROM = strFrom
    mailDoc.~INetPrincipal = strFrom
    mailDoc.ReplyTo = strFrom
    mailDoc.SendFrom = strFrom
    mailDoc.SentBy = strFrom
    mailDoc.altFrom = strFrom
    mailDoc.tmpDisplaySentBy = strFrom
    mailDoc.DisplaySent = strFrom
    mailDoc.ToShow = strFrom

    mailDoc.SendTo = strSendTo

But still the From address is shown as the web user's address. What am I missing here? Any help would be really appreciated.

Solution

  • The field Principal is the proper solution, but the real sender's name will probably be visible under water. Actually, there is different solution: to create the mail directly in the mail.box database. That's what the TeamMail template does on OpenNTF. See http://www.openntf.org/Projects/pmt.nsf/ProjectLookup/Team%20Mail%20Tamer

    Of course, this is NOT the proper way, but if you want to obfuscate the sender, there's no other solution.

    Well, technically that's not entirely true: you could create an Extension Manager DLL that changes the sender... Dirty, you say? Sure.
