Penning email from a user "other" than tfilePro

[John Esak]

Hi,

There are SO many ways to do this, I know, but I thought I would ask if
anyone else has done it and been through the decisions already. I am sending
email back to web requests that are brought into our filePro system. These
return, auto-responses for lack of a better term all go out with "filepro"
as the user doing the sending. So, in my case, and that of a few people who
have been helping me test this system, the email gets "routed" to our
"filePro" email folders... (because we have some mechanism, a rule or
what-not, that routes mail with filepro in the sender or some part of the
email header, in our systems). It is no big deal, the normal user of our web
site will not experience this, not having any such rule or folder in their
email apps, but I want to change the sender user name anyway.

Now, this can be done lots of way, but it basically wraps around the "user"
and the "effective user" and etc. We have had some very long discussions
here about filePro's EUID and how it changes if you are root or "not
root"... and some other factors which govern this... So, in light of all
this, how should I run my process to ensure that it is mailed from something
more like "info at nexusplastics.com" or "quotes at nexusplastics.com".  Of
course, I have already arranged it so that the average user will see the
sender as "Nexus Plastics" and they world not ever know the mail came from
<filepro at nexusplastics.com>, but still, like I said for me, this still sorts
into my filePro folder.

I get the data in from a process that runs based on incoming email, this
sends the data into a filepro process which sends out the auto response. At
what point should I be trying to change the user-id and how?  Wasn't there a
PFEUID or something??

Thanks,

John
