    hi Everyone,

    We are using EWS java api 1.1 for a web application we have that is used to send emails to students .Now, currently the email has the "from" field set to noreply-learningsuite@byu.edu by default.

    The from field doesn't change even after specifying it explicitly in the code

    EmailMessage msg=new EmailMessage(service);

    msg.setFrom(new EmailAddress("someemail@hotmail.com"));

    msg.setSubject("testing!");

    msg.setBody(MessageBody.getMessageBodyFromText("This is just a test message and should be discarded"));

    msg.getBccRecipients().add("recipient@gmail.com");

    msg.send();

    I need to be able to set this field("from") to some address so that the recipient can reply back to that email. Just like when sending email through gmail, the received mail will have your gmail address in the from field and the recipient can reply back to that address. I need the same behavior for exchange emails.

    Thanks for your help! I hope to hear your reply soon :D

    Hi,

    out-of the box it is not possible but you are able to configure this feature when configuring a special permission

    Get-ReceiveConnector "rz-hub1\Client RZ-HUB1" | Add-ADPermission -user "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" -ExtendedRights "ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Sender"

    Furter information about this setting you will get here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996395.aspx

    hi Peddy1st,

    Thanks for the instant reply. Does this need to be configured in the exchange server or can i do it in the web application somewhere in the above code. Thanks again!
