Default Sender

This group of settings defines the default values (sender's name and e-mail address) for every message sent thorough this outgoing mail server. However, these settings may be overridden by settings set for a specific Recipient List. For example, if the sender name in the Outgoing E-Mail account is defined as 'John' and in the Recipient List it is defined as 'Paul', then every e-mail from this Recipient List will be sent from 'Paul' regardless any name set in the Outgoing E-Mail account.

▪	Sender name

A name that will be displayed in the 'From' field of the e-mail. Please note, that some mail servers forcibly insert user name defined in this mail server settings regardless any settings in AnyFileBackup.

▪	Sender address

An e-mail address that will be displayed in the 'From' field of the e-mail after the Sender name (if any).

Please note that:

▪	some mail servers forcibly insert sender e-mail address (usually 'username@mailserver.com') that is used to log in to this mail server, or an e-mail address associated with this mail server account, regardless any settings in AnyFileBackup;

▪	if left blank, some mail servers (especially free mail servers) may reject such e-mails; so it is vital to ensure that sender e-mail address is the same as user name that is used to log in to this server or the same as an e-mail address associated with this this mail server account.

▪	MessageID domain

Text that will be displayed in the 'Message-ID' field of the e-mail. Please note, that some mail servers forcibly insert their own MessageID regardless any settings in AnyFileBackup.

Miscellaneous

A name of the current account that will be displayed in account list. If left blank, the address (or number, or user name, or account ID, as the case may be) from General section above will be used as the account name.
