Transforming the sender's address for an outbound email

Imagine you have an internal system that sends outbound emails from accounting@yourcompany.com. Your goal is to change the sender's address accounting@yourcompany.com to reminders@yourcompany.com. This is where the sender transformation rule comes into play: it can modify the sender's email address for outbound messages.

Prerequisites

You must be using the Enterprise Edition of Xeams with at least 20 users.

Configuring Sender Transformer

Use the following method to specify sender transformers:

• Create a new text file called sender_transform.txt
• Each line in this file takes two values, separated by a | character. The first value is for the original email (accounting@yourcompany.com), and the second value is for the new address (reminder@yourcompany.com).
• Save this file in $INSTALL_DIR\config folder.
• There is no need to restart Xeams after making changes to this file.

Using Wildcards

Use the phrase $any_user to specify a wildcard.

Example 1

$any_user@accounting.example.com|accounting@example.com

In this case, the domain name of any incoming email using the domain accounting.example.com will replaced by accounting@example.com

Original Sender: no-reply@accounting.example.com
Modified Sender: accounting@example.com

Example 2

$any_user@accounting.example.com|$any_user@example.com

In this example, the user part in the email will not be modified.

Original Sender: no-reply@accounting.example.com
Modified Sender: no-reply@example.com
