Hello,

this issue is eerily familiar. There is no way to overrule the Alfresco overruling, that is to use a different from address than the email from the currently logged in user (which in your case is admin). All in all, the Alfresco Email Action has proven to be too restricted / unflexible for our purposes, that we implemented a special Action (at least for the jBPM workflow domain) to handle all our emailing needs.

The only thing you may want to try, is to run the actual emailing code in a nested runAs context within your web script. When you know the user you may execute this in his context, otherwise you could use system, which should not have an email and thus Alfresco shouldn't overrule your mailFrom parameter.

Hi,

Its working now with running the alf-webscript as the user "system". The email-from is used from the prop file.

Many thanks for your answer!
