Sender
From address
A default From name and email address can be specified in the Preferences dialog: select
Window > Preferences, expand the Email preferences and click General.
This name and email address will appear as the default in the "Send Email" on page644 and
"Send Test Email" on page646 dialogs.
The default can be overwritten by typing an email address directly in the From field (as long as
no script is present for this field).
Using the Script Wizard you can create a dynamical From address; see "Using the Email
Script Wizard" on page344. It is also possible to drag and drop one data field into the From
field directly.
Tip
A dynamical From address is often used when sending email campaigns and to do tracking of email
replies. Include the recipient's email address in a dynamic From address to enable automatic
detection and removal of undeliverable e-mail addresses. (This technique is called VERP; see
Wikipedia.)
Note
When sending emails with a variable From address through PlanetPress Workflow, check the
option Precedence to template address in the Create Email Content task properties to make
sure that the dynamic address gets precedence over the email address specified in the task properties
(see Create Email Content task).
Reply To address
The Reply To address is used by mail clients, when the recipient clicks the Reply To (or Reply
All) button.
You can type an email address directly in the Reply To field (as long as no script is present for
this field).
