QuickBuild

Change email sender display name #3949

Is there anyway in Quickbuild to change the display name of emails that are sent?

Currently, we use a single service account for multiple Quickbuild servers. What we'd like to do is have the emails from different servers display in outlook with a different name depending on the server it comes from. It doesn't seem like we can modify the sender address, as the sender address needs to be the "real" email address for that service account user. We could change the name for that user at the active directory level, but then we'd only really have access to a single name and wouldn't be able to change it per Quickbuild server. Let me know if this is possible.

Also, we don't want to send emails via a step, we rely on the configuration Notifications and Notifications Template setup to send emails.

Thanks

You may configure "sender address" in mail setting section of administration menu.

That's not really what I'm asking. What I'm wanting to do is change the display name and not the actual sender address. It's setup like this:

SMTP User = buildmaster

Sender Address = buildmaster@ourdomain.com

What I get when I have it setup this way is that emails in OUTLOOK appear to come from "buildmaster". This is what I want to change. I'd like that to be something more descriptive. Like "Quickbuild Production Server".

If I make the Sender Address into a value that isn't the correct email address, I get an error like:

caused by: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender

I tried the following:

Sender Address = Quickbuild Production Server <buildmaster@ourdomain.com>

This will still work and send an email, but it still just displays in Outlook as coming from "buildmaster". So is there a way to change that name from inside of Quickbuild, as I want to have it be different per server, or is Quickbuild only able to use the name for an email address that is set in Active Directory?
