Hi ,

Hope u are doing well !!!

In one of my projects I am using SMTP client for sending mail.
My SMTP Host is : smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com.

I am using sender mail id as original@ABC.com and which exists.

I want when the user receive this mail the sender mail id should be shown as welcomemail@ABC.com and this one is dummy mail id.

I have tried for displayName property, it shows display name but still original sender mail id is intact.

Can you please guide me for this ?.

Thanks,
Hemant Thakar.

You will have to use SMTP server from abc.com

If it would have been possible what you are asking for, then everybody would be using GMail server for sending emails instead of setting up their own..

When you create the MailAddress instance for the From property of the MailMessage class instance, there is an override constructor that does that: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1s17zfkf.aspx[^]
There is a generic routine that includes it here: Sending an Email in C# with or without attachments: generic routine.[^]

Thanks,

Using DisplayName will show display name but it will not eliminate sender email id. Sender Id is still visible in mail.

Correct - you can't completely spoof your email address to prevent spam emails pretending to be from a genuine company.
