How do I assign an alias to the mandatory "From" parameter while
sending mails using CDONTS? The "From" parameter usually takes the
following form:

<%
Dim objMail
Set objMail=Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NEWMAIL")
objMail.From=""
objMail.To=""
........
........
........
%>

i.e. the person receiving the mail (in this case, Greg) will see the
entire e-mail address of the person who has sent the mail (in this
case, Jack) something like....

From:
.......
.......

How do I use an alias in place of the entire e-mail address? For e.g.
Greg, who is receiving the mail, should see something like

From: Jack
.......
.......

Thanks,

You don't. This field is a valid email address, not an alias. It's
required to meet RFC.

"You don't" or "You can't", Jeff???

Well, technically, you can. It just doesn't work.

This must be a valid email address. You can specify the user in the
field by using a format similar to:

"User Name<>"

You cannot simply use an alias (for one thing, where do you think it
would look up the alias?).
