Send on behalf

[Greg Hines]

Hi Everyone,

I'm using Outlook/Word 2007 with Exchange 2003.

Our IT department has setup my emails so I can Send on behalf of another
email address. eg: sales[at]company.com instead of using my email address.

Is it possible to do email merges and Send on Behalf of another user instead
of my default email address using Word 2007 or another third party product?

TIA

Greg

YOu need to be logged into the mail system account from which you want the
emails to appear to have come during the time when you are executing the
merge.

What do you do if it's a distribution group that you want emails to appear
to have come from?

Thanks

You can only send e-mails from the account you currently have set as the
default account as Doug already said.

Thanks, for the clarification.

BTW - Do you know of any 3rd party products that will allow me to do email
merges with a MS-SQL Database using email addresses in the GAL?

You can't do it out using the out-of-the-box MailMerge, but a year or so ago
I checked the situation where you are using Outlook and Exchange Server
(that was probably Outlook 2003) and it may be possible to do something
using VBA - for example, if you use the stuff written by Doug Robbins at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

and you have "Send As" or "Send As Delegate" permission for another user
account, then you should be able to set

objMailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName = "the Exchange user name you want to use"

And send the item.

The item does not necessarily appear as "a sent on behalf of" item. If you
have "Send As" permission, it appears as if it's from the user you specified
in SentOnBehalfOfName and there is no "on behalf of" - the same is true if
you fill in the "From"

BTW - Do you know of any 3rd party products that will allow me to do email
merges with a MS-SQL Database using email addresses in the GAL?
I don't know of ny such products (although that doesn't mean very much). I
have had some success in using addresses in the GAL as a mail merge data
source (i.e. source of e-mail addresses) but suspect that the technique only
works if you have administrator privileges, and perhaps there are other
barriers. Post back if you think it's worth knowing more, but maybe you
could say something about what you need to get from SQL Server (i.e. if you
are getting address info. from the GAL, and other data from SQL Server, is
it "peruser" data (in which case you need something that can link the two)
or do you want to store generic body text or some such in SQL Server?

Thanks Peter, I'll look into that.
