Hello fellow tbudl'ers, I hope we all have enjoyed the holiday season so far and are looking forward to the coming new year.
I've been silent for awhile, but have a vexing problem to solve. I need to send an e-mail (forward) to a mailing list that I am a moderator (owner) of. The list is under THIS e-maill address (an account ALIAS), but the messages come in to ANOTHER account address. I have set up an address book identity and forward template for the list address, however when I change the ACCOUNT to send the forward from, it will not allow me to override the default 'FROM' address! No matter how many macros I include to reset it, it still keeps the DEFAULT _address_ and _name_ of the account, and not the account ALIAS I use for these lists. I use: %ACCOUNT="AccountName"%- %FROM=""%FROM='"Spike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'%- %RETURNPATH=""%RETURNPATH='"Spike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'%- %BCC="group_list" These overrides normally work, as long as I _don't_ use %ACCOUNT. The %BCC command WORKS, and inserts the addresses of a few friends who want to receive the newsletters, but do not wish to subscribe to a mailing list for [EMAIL PROTECTED] reasons. So by this I know that macros are working. Does the %ACCOUNT setting PERMANENTLY override the other settings? Is there another way to have the mail sent from a different account? My account with this provider allows me to send mail with ANY originating address, as long as I am pop authenticated, so I wish to set this OUTBOX as my default outbox (to send mail) for ALL my accounts. Is this possible as well? Is there something I am overlooking?? My local ISP's mail account has become unreliable at best and I have abandoned it for the most part. They also did not allow me to SEND through my account when I am traveling (not logged in locally to their system). As you can see, I am still using V1.62r despite having paid and registered an upgrade to V2.xx with the Christmas discount :-) I'm still waiting for a few more bugs to be swatted before I convert over. BTW, does V2.xx install _OVER_ V1.xx with no problems?? -- Warmest tropical season's greetings, Spike Quote for the millisecond: You never finish a program, you just stop working on it. /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail \ / If it aint a webpage it shouldn't be HTML.
