Customize "from" and "to" address for emails that come from tomcat
I'm using mail.jar and activation-1.1.jar.
I am able to successfully send mail from Tomcat.
However the emails come from the user running tomcat and the FQDN of the local
host.
Is there a way to mask this?
For example, instead of:
From: tomcat7@servername.domain.com
[mailto:tomcat7@servername.domain.com]
Is there a way to change it to:
From: mailer@differentdomain.com
[mailto:mailer@differentdomain.com]

That's an awful hack and I'm sure you will find that when moving this
software to another machine you'll never figure out why "Tomcat" is
suddenly reverting to sending email messages from a different email
address.
Read the documentation for your email component (which surely uses
JavaMail under the hood) and how to set the "from" header. You can
also look at the JavaMail docs to see what system properties can
affect that kind of thing even if the email component doesn't expose it.

I ended up fixing this at the smtp server. I added an entry in
/etc/postfix/generic with the "undesired address desired address"
Re-ran the postmap command and reloaded postfix.
It is somewhat of a hack, but customers won't see a "tomcat at
some.local.server.org address".
They now see "donot-reply at corporate.com".

And you can change them when you create the message; they're just
properties.

Note that Tomcat does not ship with a component to send emails.
Whatever component you are using to send emails is providing those
defaults.
