I think you can do this when you pre-authorize the address you want to send the mail as. Meaning you have to log into your contactus gmail account and authorize a specific email address as authorized to send-on-behalf-of (this requires an email sent to that address to authorize the action). Of course this is not practical to do on behalf of all of your clients.
Although I'm not directly familiar, I imagine you can set the reply-to address as the original sender, and perhaps it's enough to do something like setting the name as: "Client Name <contac...@yourdomain.com>" I think that would work (though it's just off the top of my head). If that's as doable as I think then it seems like it would be plenty sufficient for your internal reps (and a bonus, they would be able to see that the email cam into contactus and not directly to them). Good luck with it. -----Original Message----- From: google-appengine@googlegroups.com [mailto:google-appeng...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of voscausa Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2010 8:21 PM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Failed tot created a smart relay agent for inbound mail with appengine (GAE) In Gmail you can forward messages with a filter. The receiver of this relayed messages does not see any difference. The sender is the original sender. In the "delivered-to" field of the message header you can find the relay mail address. I tried to build the same functionality with GAE. Relaying messages in my apps domain based on the address of the sender. So when clients send mail to: contac...@mydomain.com , the clients mail is relayed to his personal account manager. But GAE does not let you not relay messages: "Unauthorized sender" When you send mail, you are not allowed to use the original sender (any name) as the relay sender. You have to use an address you own for the relay sender. Why is that? Gmail allows it and even with apps script you can specify any name of the sender. Is this a spam measure? App engine should have a relaying protocol. Gmail uses a collection of forwarding addresses for this purpose. I also tried to send mail with the python smtplib. It works with the SDK, but is not allowed when you publish the script. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
