Exchange: How can you use an SMTP address other than your default reply-to from Outlook?

Question

So,upon request I respond with a basic template(I use ejs) and I want to add json data to it when I get from an external API. I have noticed that I can't use res.render or res.write twice(I get errors) so I really don't know what to do.Any ideas?

Solution 1

This is not possible without a little bit of work... certainly not right out of the box.

See here:

The cleanest option is to set up pop or imap and add a second "account" in outlook that uses pop or imap and SMTP to send using the alternate address. But it is a manual setup for each address.

Solution 2

You can't really easily do this. When sending, Exchange will change your from address to your primary SMTP (reply-to) address as soon as you hit 'Send'. If you don't need to send too many messages from other addresses, one option would be to just change your primary SMTP address before sending the message to the address you need to send as. This is where Powershell makes it nice and quick:

 set-mailbox -primarysmtpaddress [email protected]

You could then just rerun the command with your main address after you're done.

Not the solution you are probably hoping for, but a valid alternative.

The description is to vague to give you specific answer. Also there is no code to work with. If you want an answer update your question.

It's quite simple really.How can I send a response twice in express.Do I need to do res.send twice?Cause that gives me an error.

Is that our question? If you can send response twice? That makes no logical sense. If you show some code I can see suggest a solution.

Best way to ask question here to put code stuff where you are stuck, so that someone can look this.

I was afraid of that. But why would Outlook list your other SMTP addresses in Outlook? ...Not a real question... unless you're an MS software engineer :-). Figured that I'm missing something.

Not sure how you got that to happen, unless it is by entering the other addresses... When I click on the from box, I only see my primary address and "Other Email Addresses..."
