Zein Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Trying to get this email I send with autoIT to send using a different name than my email, so I looked into the UDF and found the SentOnBehalfOfName tag. When I set it, I all the emails I sent through autoit just get saved as drafts. When I remove the flag, it sends emails normally. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Func sendLogs($recipientList) $oOL = _OL_Open() $oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOL, $olMailItem, "", "", "Subject=Logs", "BodyFormat=" & $olFormatHTML, "", "SentOnBehalfOfName=Automation") For $i = 0 To UBound($recipientList) - 1 Step + 1 _OL_ItemRecipientAdd($oOL, $oItem, Default, $olTo, $recipientList[$i]) Next $aArray = _FileListToArray($oLOGFolder) For $i = 0 To UBound($aArray) - 1 Step +1 _OL_ItemAttachmentAdd($oOL, $oItem, "default", $oLOGFolder & $aArray[$i]) Next _OL_ItemSend($oOL, $oItem) _OL_Close($oOL) EndFunc Is how I write it.

Zein Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Not sure if it matters, but I figured out the error. The issue wasn't with the code, the code was working fine actually. The issue is that Outlook doesn't support using a different display name when sending emails. So I switched to using Jos's great SMTP mailer code found here: And it works like an absolute charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Outlook allows to send mails on behalf of another user. You just need to have the required permissions.

Juvigy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I am using outlook and sending emails on behalf of another email account all the time. It works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
