why server name is displayed in place of sender name when a mail is sent ?

hi
My prob. is that when i send a mail through web using any id @mailsend("....")by formula lang. in lotus notes i get server name in places of sender name, although using samething in client is working perfectly. what could be the cause of getting server name in place of sender name while processing document in web.

Ur running the web agent through server. So, u r getting it.

While in note client, ur triggering the code through an action button and it takes ur name as sender.

And also, u r having mail file location document.

For web we don't have any locatoin document. So, u will see server name as sender.

@MailSend works on the web, but is not SUPPORTED on the web, partially because of this issues. The help for @MaiSend says, "You cannot use this function in Web applications."

Even if you enable the "run as web user" property, it will still put in the server name. You need to use LotusScript to acieve the same effect.

Sub AtMailSend(doc as notesDocument, sendTo, cc, bcc, Subject as String, bodyText as string, bodyFields, includeDocLink )

'sendTo, cc, bcc, bodyFields can all either be strings or arrays of strings; includeDocLink must be TRUE or FALSE

Dim db as notesDatabase
Set db = doc.parentDatabase
Dim msg as notesDocument
Set msg = db.createDocument

msg.replaceItemValue "Form", "Memo"
msg.replaceItemValue "SendTo", SendTo
msg.replaceItemValue "CopyTo", CopyTo
msg.replaceItemValue "BlindCopyTo", BlindCopyTo
msg.replaceItemValue "Subject", Subject

Dim body as New notesRichTextItem msg , "Body"
Dim bodyPartItem as notesItem, bodyPartRTItem as notesRichTextItem
body.appendText bodyText
if isArray(bodyFields) Then
forall bodyField in bodyFields
if doc.hasItem(bodyField) Then
set bodyPartItem = doc.getFirstItem(bodyField)
if bodyPartItem.Type = RICHTEXT then
set bodyPartRTItem = bodyPartItem
body.appendRTItem bodyPartRTItem
else
body.appendText bodyPartItem.Text
end if
end if
end forall
else
if doc.hasItem(bodyFields) Then
set bodyPartItem = doc.getFirstItem(bodyFields)
if bodyPartItem.Type = RICHTEXT then
set bodyPartRTItem = bodyPartItem
body.appendRTItem bodyPartRTItem
else
body.appendText bodyPartItem.Text
end if
end if
end if

if includeDocLink Then
body.appendDocLink doc , doc.Subject(0)
end if

End Sub

dear all
prob solved long back but i was not able to respond sorry :(

after lots & load r/d answer came out to be simple one
see i have written a agent ( hidden)with choosing option simple action
in that i have written formula for "to field" and "subject " as text and check the "inclued document link in message" thats it and call the agent on submit button as usual @Command([ToolsRunMacro];"(mailonsubmit)"); it works fine with web i tell u no longer i see server name in in place of sender. i was alway forcing user to login from the very start and for client it was as usual @mailsend
agent runs as web user & runtime is agentlists selection on selected document.
for point i think Hemanth can share atleat he has shown the way of using agent in that manner, see lotus script was the answer but my limitation for that particular thing was not possible i was wanted to use @formula

I don't know how to close this Question. From myside its over
have u guy seen my question " How to extract mail attachment in linux enviorment from a sheduled agent"
any answer???
Thanx for all ur support Keep the good work going
cheers
