Purpose

Consider a firm ABC running Microsoft® Exchange 2007/2010/2013/2016. The Accounting department staff has their own mailboxes (user@company.com) and they are Outlook users. Their e-mail is handled through generic department distribution group (accounts@company.com), which ensures that all users receive each e-mail message. For internal mail they want to be able to send e-mail as each individual user, however when this user sends e-mail out of the office, the From address needs to be set to the address of the distribution group (accounts@company.com). This should be done automatically on Exchange server side.
Optionally, to send an external message personally, the user should set the message Sensitivity parameter to "Personal", "Private" or "Confidential".

Using SendAsGroup application would solve the problem.

Current version: 1.0.0.4    Now it supports iOS (iPhone etc) or Android-based devices.

  3. Open Outlook and create a new mail message. Send your message to any external Internet address you can operate.
  4. Receive the message you have just sent using any SMTP/POP3 e-mail client (for example, Outlook Express) and make sure the sender address (From: field) is TestSendAsGroup@domain.com
  5. Open Outlook and create a new mail message. Click Options > Sensitivity > Personal. Click Close. Send this message.
  6. Receive a message you have just sent and make sure the sender address (From: field) now is user's personal address.

By default SendAsgroup application handles only external messages. If you wish to handle internal messages too, run SendAsGroupSetup.exe and mark "Handle internal messages" check box.

Also by default SendAsgroup application handles only messages whose sensitivity level is set to normal. If you wish to handle any message regardless of its sensitivity level, run SendAsGroupSetup.exe and mark "Handle messages with any sensitivity level" check box.

If you are planning to use the iOS (iPhone etc) or Android-based devices that do not support sensitivity levels, you can check "Handle 'Private:' subject prefix" box. Now, to send from a personal address, you have to place "Private:" prefix to the subject line.

Uninstallation

Run SendAsGroupSetup.exe. Click 'Uninstall' button. Click Exit button to close the program.
