SMTP server allowing different senders
Question

I have set up my personal environment SMTP server using an office365 account. This works well when I am sending emails from the address that has user access to the account. I would, however, need the ability to send emails from various email addresses as determined by the users of the various applications. In other words, the "From" field of the email will be different from the default sender email address.

I understand that sending emails from various accounts will have to be allowed by the SMTP server I am using. So I am asking if any one is aware of any good options for achieving this. 

The shared mailbox option for office365 is not an option because I would have to give mailbox permissions in advance. Since I will not always know the sender's email address in advance, this will not help me.

Hello Thabo,

Most Mail Services now require this as a security measure.

You can opt for a free service where it is possible to disable this feature, or use one that allows any sender, usually with limitations.

Or pay for one...

You will have to search anyways.

Another possibility is to install your own SMTP server and use it.

Don't see many other options...

Cheers

Hi Eduardo,

I am investigating a few SMTP server options.

Thanks for your assistance.
