Summary

By default, all e-mail messages sent by adTempus use the return address specified in the Notification Setup options for the adTempus server, with the sender name set to "adTempus". This article describes how to change the global sender name and how to use different sender information for different messages.

More Information

Changing the Sender Name

The default return address is specified in the Notification Setup window (Tools / Server Options / Notification Setup). Ordinarily adTempus uses the e-mail address you enter in the Return Address for Messages box and sets the display name on messages to "adTempus". If you want to specify a different display name for the sender, use the following format when entering the Return Address for Messages: 

Replace Any Name You Want with the name you want to appear on messages, and [email protected] with the address. Note the quotation marks around the name and the angle brackets around the address: these must be present.

Job-Specific Sender Settings

In some cases it may be useful to use different sender information for different jobs. You can override the default sender name and address for a job or group of jobs by setting the "NotificationFromName" and "NotificationFromAddress" Job Variables for the job or group.

For example, if you want to use "[email protected]" as the from address on notification messages sent for a particular group of jobs, follow these steps:

1. Select the group in the Jobs tree in the Console, then right-click and select Edit Group.
2. In the Job Group Properties window, go to the Variables page.
3. Click Add to add a new variable.
4. In the Job Variable Properties window, enter the following as the Variable Name:
   NotificationFromAddress
5. Enter the following as the Variable Value:
   [email protected]
6. Click OK to save the variable.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 to set the "NotificationFromName" variable to the display name you want to use.

 All jobs in this group will now use the new sender information.
