Ok, first of all thank you for your quick reply and help.
Let me explain the situation. We have different companies with all there own
domain name. We have a Small Business Server 2003 which handles all our
email. So I have lars[ at ]companyA.com and lars[ at ]companyB.com as an emailaddress.
We used Ivasoft software to be able to send from those different
emailadresses. You get a From:-field where you have to type
smtp:Lars[ at ]companyA.com to send from this address.
I also made a stationairy for each company. In an Outlook template I
combined the stationairy with that companies emailaddress in the From-field.
This is done so its easy for people that work here and they won't make a
misstake. Clients may not know CompanyA belongs to CompanyB and vice versa.
But I want to automate the From-field initial value, because else I have to
make a template for each individual that works here. The emailaddresses are
like username[ at ]companyA.com.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to achieve and you have a solution.
Kind regards,
Lars
