How can an SMTP Mailer application properly form an email so that Outlook resolves the FROM to internal user,etc?
I had this issue with some developers a while back, where their emails went to Outlook’s Junk E-mail folder. Even though it was from an internal email address, Outlook treated it as Internet email because it was just the email address.
So, I told them to try sending with the Mail from: and the FROM: Display Name….
That seemed to work.
Now we have some web app sending emails and it is doing the same – going to Outlook’s Junk E-mail folder.
I would rather try to find a solution on the mailer side, instead of trying to add it to safe senders on all PCs.
I’m trying to gather info so I can tell them exactly what should be happening.
From what I gather; to do this via command line, you do it like the below example. See any issues with that syntax?
(Note: Webapp@ourdomain.com is a valid distribution list address, we 3 dev dudes on it.)
When it hits Outlook it just displays as shown: Web App <webapp@ourdomain.com>
The properties just show the SMTP properties as if it was internet email.
Any suggestions?

i have a bad feeling is the Outlook kicks in.
one thing you can do is to ask your telnet application to authenticate to the server, so the email was sent as an authenticated users rather then non-authenticated.
non-authenticated trigger a potential that it would be
X-MS-Exchange-Organization
Outlook 2007 onwards usually observes this settings.

As described, this isn't an SMTP mailer problem, but an Outlook problem.
There's also no information on what language or tools are being used to generate the SMTP maiil. I can say that in .Net, creating an SMTP mail object with a sender formatted like...
objMail.From = New Net.Mail.MailAddress("PenS
...is valid, and would seem to sidestep the problem you're experiencing. This same format may or may not work with other SMTP mailers.
