How do I send e-mail using an agent?

It is possible to send e-mail generated by an agent, however you must use the "Principal" field to control who the e-mail is addressed from. Here is a script that is known to work on our servers:

Dim session As New NotesSession

Dim db As NotesDatabase

Set db = session.Currentdatabase

Dim doc as New NotesDocument(db)

doc.SendTo = "[e-mail]"

doc.Principal = "FirstName LastName <[e-mail]@NotesDomain>"

doc.From = "[e-mail]"

doc.SMTPOriginator = "[e-mail]"

doc.iNetFrom = "[e-mail]"

doc.Subject = "Hello"

doc.Body = "Nice to know you"

Call doc.Send(False)

The doc.Principal line is the most important... be sure that "@NotesDomain" reads as is... do not substitute an actual Notes domain name.
