Change sender Address when using SAP Mail via Exchange

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using FM ZSO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send email with .pdf attachment. all works fine but the recipient sometimes replies to the email which I dont want to happen, so I need the email to appear to have come from an alternative address than mine.e.g. from 'saphelpdeskatxxx.com'

....code I have tried to change is Originator here...

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_OBJECT_SEND'

EXPORTING

• EXTERN_ADDRESS = ' '

• FOLDER_ID = ' '

• FORWARDER = ' '

OBJECT_FL_CHANGE = OBJECT_FL_CHANGE

OBJECT_HD_CHANGE = OBJECT_HD_CHANGE

• OBJECT_ID = ' '

OBJECT_TYPE = OBJECT_TYPE

OUTBOX_FLAG = PUT_IN_OUTBOX

ORIGINATOR = ORIGINATOR <----

---

ORIGINATOR_TYPE = ORIGINATOR_TYPE

• OWNER = ' '

• STORE_FLAG = ' '

IMPORTING

OBJECT_ID_NEW = OBJECT_ID_NEW

SENT_TO_ALL = SENT_TO_ALL

ORIGINATOR_ID = SENDER_ID

but that doesnt work.

Is this something I need to do with Exchange and not SAP?

Any help appreciated.

The SENDER E-mail address comes from the SAP user running the job. To override this, go to SU01 and create a new user such as SENDER. In the FIRST & LAST NAMES code your sender name and in the E-MAIL code the email address. Use SENDER, when calling your RFC.

Have finally found the solution.

SENDER_ADDRESS = 'nobody at dummy.com'.

the bit I was missing was

SENDER_ADDRESS_TYPE = 'SMTP'.

as opposed to it being set as SPACE

Hi Steve,

I am facing the same problem - can you tell me how I can change the User name using one of the standard SAP FM's ???

Thanks ,

Hi Aditya,

I took a copy of the SOI1 function group, called it ZSOI1. Copied Function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to Z version. In there there's a call to FM ZSO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

In call arguments set SENDER_ADDRESS to desired static email address, then set SENDER_ADDRESS_TYPE = 'SMTP' - it was that statement that I was stuck on for months

Hope that helps,
