    Hi Guys,

    I have a general email address which i want to use for automated email responses
    generated from workflows triggered when new records have been created in CRM.

    The email address does not belong to a user but is a general email address.

    How do i go about sending my automated responses from this general email address?

    Regards

    Dave

    You could create a Queue which you can assign an email address to. The when sending the email, the Queue could be used as the sender.

    The CRM Server can't send email by itself.  For Users, Outgoing email can be processed (sent) via the Outlook Client or the CRM Email Router.  Given that the CRM Outlook Client requires CRM User credentials, Queues are restricted only to the Email Router (which makes sense as Queues are generally a "model" of a system Email address not attached to a specific person).

    The Email Router uses SMTP to send Outgoing email.  To enable and configure this you must supply an SMTP Server address and credentials where applicable for authentication.  You may configure a Queue to use any email address, provided the SMTP Server will process email for that email address - this is a function of the implementation, configuration and policies of your SMTP Server.

    hi David, you can send email from general id for that , in your workflow set 'From' field to your id - n@example.com then go to system settings -> email tab -> where you have to set "Allow messagess with unresolved email recipients to be sent " to 'YES'

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for this reply. Can you just use any general email address in the queue or does the email address have to exist in Active Directory for Dynamics to recognise it?

    Regards

    Depending on how your outgoing email is being routed, I'd think you would want at least the domain name of the email to match that provider to prevent any type of relaying issues/rejections.
