Override the Email From Address

Introduction

By default, the outgoing email From address in BrightWork is specified either by the user (in the case of BrightWork Reporter scheduled emails), or by the Outgoing E-Mail From address configured in SharePoint Central Administration (in the case of Project Requests). However, a site collection setting can be configured to override the Outgoing E-Mail From address with a specified email address for BrightWork Reporter emails, BrightWork Reporter scheduled emails, and Project Requests.

Steps for Setting the Outgoing Email From Address Override

Option 1: Using BrightWork Settings

1. At the root of your site collection click Settings | Site settings.
2. In the BrightWork Settings section, click BrightWork Settings.
3. In the Outgoing E-Mail From address section, in the From address field enter the value of the desired From email address.

Note: If this field is left blank, the Outgoing E-Mail From address specified in Central Administration will be used.

4. Click OK.

Option 2: Using a SharePoint Management Shell cmdlet

1. On the SharePoint server right-click on the SharePoint Management Shell and select Run as Administrator.
2. Enter a command using the following format to set the From email address override value for the site collection: Set-BWFromEmailOverride <Target Site Collection> -FromEmailAddress "<From Email Address>"

For example: Set-BWFromEmailOverride https://myserver/sites/mysitecollection -FromEmailAddress "[email protected]"

3. To see if there is an existing From email address override value for a site collection: Get-BWFromEmailOverride <Target Site Collection>

For example: Get-BWFromEmailOverride https://myserver/sites/mysitecollection

4. To clear the From email address override value for a site collection: Set-BWFromEmailOverride <Target Site Collection> -FromEmailAddress ""
