Abillity to specify the From Address in SNDSMTPEMM

Currently there is now option in SNDSMTPEMM to specify a From Address like the QtmmSendMail API using a mime file is able to. When many different users are sending emails from the system it will use the current users alias, but this is not acceptable if we want all emails being sent out to have the same From address.

    PTFs have been created so that if the Originator field has been specified in ADDUSRSMTP or CHGUSRSMTP, it will be reflected in both the "From:" field in a MIME file and the "MAIL FROM" command in SMTP communication. For more information, see https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6576777.

    There are no plans for a PTF to add support for IBM i 7.3.

    The 750 originator enhancement is not sufficient as the Mail From is not changed so when people reply to the email it will not use this Originator. Also some mail routers require a specific email address to be used, which Originator will not work.

    There must be some easy way to use the same Mai From for all users sending email.

    Now you have the code, will this be PTFed back to V7R3 and V7R4? The SMTP protocol hasn't changed so I assume this is just a tighter map to the API by the commands...

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved in IBM i 7.5 by adding support to SMTP to allow a different sender email address to be specified when sending emails.
