EMailBC ignoring From-attribute

[Frank Niedermann]

Hi,

I have installed the EmailBC on GlassFish ESB and now I'm sending out mails to my users which works fine.

The only thing that bothers me is that the mails coming from OpenESB always have "Administrator@hostname" in the From mail attribute.

This shouldn't be because I have assigned another value to the from attribute in the BPEL:

           <copy>
                <from>'OpenESB Server'</from>
                <to variable="SendEmailIn" part="from"/>
            </copy>

Is this a known issue or am I missing some point?

Thanks,
  Frank

I see an exception in the log file, when I use 'OpenESB Server' as the
from address. Use a valid email address for the from value, and it
should work.

Also if the from address is not specified (or is invalid), the smtp
server may add a from address, which may explain the
Administrator@hostname value.

Thanks,
Shivanand

Hi Shivanand,

that's right, after using a well formed mail address it works. Is there a
way to still use the hostname of the OpenESB server in a BPEL assign?

Thanks,

Hi Frank,
What do you mean by hostname of openesb server?
Can you give some examples as to what you expect to be seen in the from
address?

In general, you can use any "from" address, as long as the smtp server
allows it.

Thanks,
Shivanand

Hi Shivanand,

must not be in the from address, but I would like to send a mail like this:

from: "[e-mail]"
subject: "this is a support message from openesb server server1.domain"

I don't want to write server1.domain statically into the BPEL mapper because I want to deploy that BPEL on different hosts. So the subject should be whatever the hostname is on that server, like this:

subject: "this is a support message from openesb server $servername"

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the clarification.
Email BC by itself cannot support your requirement currently. But you
can file for an enhancement, and if there is enough interest, can be
provided in future.

I dont know whether BPEL can provide you the host name to be used while
creating the subject. And someone can clarify this.
Probably POJO service engine can help you.

Thanks,
Shivanand
