Business Central AL Extension Smtp Mail CreateMessage AddFrom - smtp

My employer is running a legacy version of Business Central (On-Prem) - Spring '19 Release, and has no immediate plans to upgrade. My question is about the 'From Address' when using codeunit 'Smtp Mail (400)' (yes, I know it's marked for removal), specifically the first two arguments of the CreateMessage procedure: FromName: Text; FromAddress: Text. and the AddFrom procedure that is subsequently called. The FromName is being obeyed, but the FromAddress is not. For test purposes on my Sandbox I'm using my Google GMail account with an App password in the Smtp Setup, and I'm sending from the current user name & address
(in this case: ADMIN admin#M365x83076759.OnMicrosoft.com).
At the destination, the email headers seem to indicate that the original FromAddress had initially been set:-
From: ADMIN nwebb767#gmail.com
X-Google-Original-From: ADMIN admin#M365x83076759.OnMicrosoft.com
But, it appears to eventually use the 'Send mail as' value from my Gmail settings for the FromAddress.
I tried configuring my gmail settings to send as another email address (a process that involved 2-step verification). I then ended up receiving an unsatisfactory ‘On behalf Of’ sender hybrid as below:-
Nicholas Webb nwebb767#gmail.com; on behalf of; nick#webb-web.co.uk (ADMIN) nick#webb-web.co.uk
Why is the FromAddress specified at point of message-creation being ignored / overridden?

Ways to send system emails over Gmail Workspace and SMTP server

I have an app built with Node.js and running in Google Cloud. I need to sand certain system emails such as setting change confirmation, password reset tokens, etc. I use nodemailer and Google SMTP server for sending such mails. Till now I used a simple Gmail account like myaccount#gmail.com for this purpose. But now I want to send it from no-replay#mydomain.com.
My question is whether I need to create a new user in my Google Workspace (and pay monthly for it) for this purpose, or there is another way?
To use all the core services in Google Workspace you need to pay at least for the business standard edition $6 per month.
It's good if you're going to use it as a permanent or business solution. But if it's just for testing it's not worthy. It's better a trial.
As an alternative solution, if you have a cheaper SMTP server, you can add that email address as Send mail as in your free Gmail account and configure an alias in nodemailer
var mailOptions = {
to: user.email,
from: 'Domain Email <example#domain.com>',
subject: subject,
html: emailHTML
};

Receive email with AWS SES without MX record

I'll like to process incoming email on a specific email. In aws docs it says
Although you are not required to publish an MX record to receive mail through Amazon SES, if you don't publish the record, Amazon SES will receive mail for your domain only if you explicitly route it to Amazon SES.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/receiving-email-mx-record.html
How do I explicitly route email to SES?
After hours of research and failed attempts of having SES receive emails without the use of a MX record (had set up an additional Route via gSuite / Google Apps), here is my best suggestion on how to go about this.
Short Version
Create a subdomain and point its MX record to SES after inserting the TXT verification record. After creating the necessary ruleset to receive and save email from any#sub.domain.com, you can now have SES receive email from any email address you own (even if it's not verified with SES) by simply forwarding its emails to the SES enabled subdomain email address.
Long Version
Unfortunately, it does still require an MX record, but check it out...
You can create a custom subdomain on your primary domain and call it anything. In my case, I called it ses.mydomain.com
Next, I added my newly created subdomain to SES via the Domains link.
Immediately upon adding it as a domain to SES, a pop-up window appears displaying the required TXT verification record and MX mail record.
Shortly after assigning these two DNS records to my subdomain, the subdomain is verified and able to receive email after setting a few quick rules via Rule Sets!
Here's the cool part - you can still have SES receive email from any email address you have access to.
How you might ask?
By just setting up a forwarder on the email address you do want to send to SES, by forwarding it to the SES-enabled subdomain email address.
Meaning - If SES is able to receive email from someone#ses.example.com, but you want it to actually receive email from someone-else#example.com, then all you need to do is forward someone-else#example.com to someone#ses.example.com!
Remember, you still need to create the necessary rules to receive emails. See this AWS Blog Post for more information.
Use one of the AWS SES's inbound endpoints:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/regions.html#region-select
e.g. for US-EAST-1 the inbound endpoint is inbound-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. For receiving only you do not use SMTP endpoints. The procedure is pretty much the same using MX records or not: somewhere (in your DNS or in your mail handling system) you must point to a SES inbound endpoint.
For example, my MX records point to Google Apps, but using 'Hosts' and 'Routing' (inside Google Apps/Gmail options) I managed to relay only one recipient to SES. So every e-mail my domain receives goes to Gmail recipients as usual, except for one special_recipient#mydomain.com which I relayed to SES (which, in turn, goes to SNS then to SQS).
from:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-receive-and-process-incoming-email-with-amazon-ses/
Now you need to route your incoming email to SES for processing. You have two options here. You can set the domain’s MX (Mail Exchange) record to point to the SES SMTP endpoint in the region where you want to process incoming email. Or, you can configure your existing mail handling system to forward mail to the endpoint.

DNN - ContactUS - Email not triggering

DNN - ContactUS - Email not triggering
I am able to test SMTP-test mail successfully in my site (Host Settings) ,
But
In the Contact us page.. while submitting am not receiving it to my mailBox . I have updated EmailTo in ModuleSetting table, still :(
Is there anywhere any boolean to decide , whether it should trigger or not .
Can you suggest the possibilities of this issue
Rigin
Check the Event Log to see if there are messages regarding mail delivery issues.
Often, the server's SMTP server is set up to NOT relay for an out of domain address. If so, this will require proper configuration of the SMTP server.

Issue Sending Mail via SMTP

My iOS application uses Mailcore to access a user's email account. Sending and receiving is done via SMTP and IMAP, and both processes work as expected for Gmail and Outlook (which both use OAuth for login).
I just added Yahoo (as well as some other providers to the app who do not use OAuth) and for all of these providers I am having an issue specifically with sending messages.
The issue is that although messages DO get sent successfully from my application, they do not appear in the sent folder on the web for the provider.
For example, if I log into my Yahoo account in my application, and send a message to my Gmail account, the message appears in my Gmail inbox on the web, but not in my Yahoo sent box on the web.
I tried adding Yahoo to the regular mail app on iPhone and sending a message from this account - this worked fine - the message shows up Yahoo sent box on the web. So, I then compared the headers of the two messages (the one sent from mail app and the one sent from my app) and the only obvious difference I see is in the line 'X-Rocket-Received':
Mail App:
X-Rocket-Received: from [11.180.250.219] (userName#71.208.72.234 with xymcookie [216.39.61.254])
by smtp203.mail.ne1.yahoo.com with SMTP; 23 May 2014 08:19:54 -0700 PDT
My App:
X-Rocket-Received: from (userName#118.41.27.139 with plain [98.138.105.21])
by smtp214.mail.ne1.yahoo.com with SMTP; 23 May 2014 08:58:29 -0700 PDT
Can anyone answer any of the following questions for me:
1) What does X-Rocket-Received mean?
2) What is the significance of "with xymcookie" versus "with plain"?
3) Is my issue likely to do with my not having an xymcookie?
4) Where might I begin to solve this issue?
Many thanks.
Additional information:
It was placed there by some server along the way. It is a non-standard header. It appears similar to a standard SMTP Received header though.
'xymcookie' is a non-standard authentication method used by Yahoo. It is not, as far as I can tell, publicly documented.
No.
See Remy's answer. Use IMAP Append for most servers. Gmail does not require it, but that is non-standard.
Sending an email with SMTP directly does not put the email in the provider's Sent folder. You have to log into the provider with IMAP and put a copy of the email into the Sent folder as a separate operation. Higher level apps, like iPhone's mail app, handle these details internally.

DMARC Anti-Spoofing Error When Sending Email with Sender Yahoo Domain Other Than Server Domain

I am using our email server at [mydomainhere].com to send emails through a web site UI. I just used the UI to send an email from [myemail]#yahoo.com. And received an Undeliverable message at my yahoo email address.
mta1400.mail.ne1.yahoo.com rejected your message to the following e-mail addresses:
[myemail]#yahoo.com
mta1400.mail.ne1.yahoo.com gave this error:
Message not accepted for policy reasons. See http://postmaster.yahoo.com/errors/postmaster-28.html
More information can be found here:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2141120/yahoo-email-antispoofing-policy-breaks-mailing-lists.html
Any help would be appreciated.
Yes Allan, you are correct in assuming that the anti-spoofing that Yahoo (and now AOL) have turned on is permanent. The technology they are using is called DMARC. Yahoo has published a DMARC record in their DNS:
$ dig TXT _dmarc.yahoo.com. +short
"v=DMARC1; p=reject; sp=none; pct=100; rua=mailto:dmarc-yahoo-rua#yahoo-inc.com, mailto:dmarc_y_rua#yahoo.com;"
Every mail server that supports DMARC will look up that record in Yahoo's DNS and apply Yahoo's p=reject policy. In effect, what Yahoo has done is stated to the world, "if the email does not originate from this list of IPs (SPF) or bear this crytographic signature (DKIM), then reject (p=reject) it." Since your mail server is not in their list of mail servers IPs nor are the messages signed with Yahoo's DKIM key, a substantial and growing portion of the mail servers on the internet are going to reject it or deliver it to the Spam folder (Gmail).
In addition to the SPF & DKIM checks, DMARC also introduces the concept of alignment. In addition to passing SPF checks (which apply to the Envelope Sender), DMARC requires that the domain in the messages 'From' header passes SPF. This prevents you (and bad actors) from sending messages with a header From domain of Yahoo.com and an Envelope Sender domain of attacker.com, which the recipient will never see. This alignment also extends to the DKIM signature, requiring not just that the message is signed with DKIM, but also that the dkim signature domain (d= property) matches the From header domain.
we will just have to prevent users from using their yahoo email address in the sender email field
Coding in a check for the yahoo.com domain is a hack that won't last long. AOL has already joined the thousands of domain owners with DMARC p=reject policies. They won't be the last of the Very Large Email providers to publish p=reject DMARC policies. A much safer approach is to evaluate SPF against your mail servers public IP and the domain in the users selected email address. If the SPF check fails, then choose an option:
Inform the user that their choice of domains doesn't permit 3rd party senders and they should choose another.
Alter the From header to send from a domain you control:
From: "user#yahoo.com via" <my-app#my-domain.com>
As already stated, you could define Reply-To if you wish for replies to expose the senders real email address.
Set up local usernames that forward to the sender's real email address. If you've used Craigslist, you're familiar with the idea. You maintain a mapping of local addresses and the email address they forward to.
Based on what you've said about your web application, it seems like #2 is the best fit.
I have had a similar problem with mailing lists that I maintain (e-mails with a From address something#yahoo.com bounced). I solved my problem by changing the From, Reply-to and Errors-to fields of the e-mails' headers as follows:
From: Organization name <no-reply#somedomain.org>
Reply-to: my-email-address#yahoo.com
Errors-to: my-email-address#yahoo.com
I suspect that similar changes will fix your problem.
