All e-mail alerts coming from Sharepoint are from an address configured in Outgoing E-mail. It's my understanding though, that, before Sharepoint 2007, the actual e-mails used to come from the user (or Originator) of the task.
Example:
I (John Doe) creates a task and assigns Jane Doe. Jane gets an email from John Doe, with the Sharepoint Site Name and Subject of Task in "Subject" field. The actual body of the email simply says "A new list item has been assigned to you, or a list item that is already assigned to you has been updated. To view the list item, click the link below....".
That's how it USED to work.
Now, John creates a task for Jane, Jane gets an email from MOSSAlerts@domain.com and the subject field has site and subject of task.
How can I make alerts sent out, sent from actual Users rather than a default account configured on the server?
