Hi, I am trying to send a message from Lotus Notes. I have access to my own mailbox, plus we have a group mail that we use, mapped in my Workspace. The problem is that no matter which server and database I specify (see the line that is commented out), the script always sends the message from my mailbox, as myself. The code is below. I'd appreciate any input, I'm guessing some LotusScript expertise is required.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;

my $Notes = Win32::OLE->new('Notes.NotesSession');
# my $Database = $Notes->GetDatabase('server1', 'db1\myown.nsf');
my $Database = $Notes->GetDatabase('server2', 'db2\group.nsf');
$Database->OpenMail;
my $Document = $Database->CreateDocument;

$Document->{Form} = 'Memo';
$Document->{SendTo} = ['recipient@address.com'];
$Document->{Subject} = 'Test message';
my $Body = $Document->CreateRichTextItem("Body");
$Body->AppendText('test message');
$Document->Send(0);

EDIT: ----- Got it. It's $Document->{Principal} = '' method that allows you pose as the group sender :)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
