    Emails sent from OSCAnswered

    Title:
    Emails sent from OSC
    Summary:
    Emails coming from OSC with different email address.
    Content:

    Before I took over the system, the previous administrator set up a few email boxes in OSC.   And we have certain email addresses being forwarded into them.

    For example, an employee can email ABC@mycompany.com.    That gets forwarded to the OSC emailbox ABC@custhelp.com and an OSC incident is created.   When an agent replies to this incident, the employee gets an email from ABC@mycompany.com

    However, I have replicated this process with a few new emailboxes that I set up, but the reply doesn't work the same.

    So now we have XYZ@mycompany.com which gets forwarded to XYZ@custhelp.com.   But when an agent replies, the employee is getting an email from XYZ@custhelp.com.

     

    What am I missing here?   Is there something more I can set up in OSC to change the email address?

    Or is that something in my company Outlook system?

    Hi Dave.

    You would need to set the Friendly from and Reply to address in your mailbox configuration settings (within OSVC)
    Also: Make sure emails are not just being forwarded to OSVC but redirected.

    Only with redirection the original senders address is kept.

    Forward
    customer@protonmail.com -> info@yourcompany.com -> info@custhelp.com
    Result: Sender is info@yourcompany.com

    Redirect
    customer@protonmail.com -> info@yourcompany.com -> info@custhelp.com
    Result: Sender is customer@protonmail.com

      Perfect!   That is exactly the nudge I needed.   Thanks.
