cant't send email to public folder when I only allow my form

[Dennis Jones]

Hello newsgroup,

when I create a new form for a public folder and activate the field "use
only the forms above" in the properties, I'm not able to send an Email
to this folder.

I want that whenever a user in my domain answers to an email which is in
the public folder, the emailadress of the public folder is used for the
sender adress.

Everythings works fine when I allow all forms on the public folder and
convert the incoming items to the new form with the help of a macro that
I found at the ms website. But I had to do it with every new item manually.

Has anybody an idea how to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Dennis

From the server side you can use an event script or event sink to convert
the message class of the items as they come into the public folder. Or you
can use a client-side COM addin to monitor the public folder's Items
collection and handle the ItemAdd event on the collection.

The better solution would be to use the server side code since then Outlook
doesn't have to be running and you don't have to handle cases where more
than one client are attempting to convert the message class.

Well that makes sense, doesn't it? A normal email message uses IPM.Note,
which wouldn't be allowed if you restrict the forms used on the folder. Use
an Exchange server event sink or script to convert the class of incoming
items, but remove the form restriction on the folder.
