    I would like have reminder emails spawned in a workflow come from SYSTEM, i.e. NOT someone (i.e. I'm not interested in {Owner(Lead)}.)  And I'm on-line.

    I would guess I might insert SYSTEM hard coded.  However, I notice that the SYSTEM account has no email address and is marked as disabled.  I envision obstacles.  I don't want to pay for a license.  I don't even know if I can enable the SYSTEM.  I don't think an administration license can create records or grant everyone the privilege to mail in his name.  Can I get away with SYSTEM@orgname.onmicrosoft.com?

    More specifically, I want to send an email on delete where the deletion occurs due to a bulk delete job.

    Hi,

    You can't (as you suspected!) use the SYSTEM user to send emails as the sender - but you can create emails using the SYSTEM user (in a plugin) but the sender must be a valid user with email address.

    Hope this helps,

    Scott

    How about giving the Organization Queue a mailbox and using it?

    Again, it's not so much creating the email, it's who's sending it.  It's a create mail step in a UI Workflow which fires on delete and the deletor is the SYSTEM via a bulk delete job.  I've got to figure out someplace from which it comes and I'd rather not have the owner emailing himself.  And I'm also trying to avoid paying for a seat for the SYSTEM.
