v Many SMTP gateways require a valid sender address, otherwise they will not
forward the email, as a security measure in order to prevent unauthorized usage
of the SMTP server. Often this sender address must be limited to a specific
domain.
v The sender's address is used as the destination for error messages generated by
the SMTP gateways, such as: incorrect email address, full email mailbox and so
on.
If the sender's address is not specified for a specific SMTP gateway, a global
system-wide sender's address specified in Setting Configuration Parameters is
used.
The user can also configure a reply-to address which is different from the sender's
address, if it is required that the return emails are sent to another destination.
Example:
smtpgw_define smtpgw=mailserver1 address=smtp.yourcompany.com
from_address=nextra@yourcompany.com
reply_to_address=nextraerrors@yourcompany.com
