Modified: 15-Jul-2019   


Applies To

  • Windchill ProjectLink 10.1 to 13.0
  • Windchill PDMLink 10.1 to 13.0

Description

Scenario:
  • External users are members of Windchill context teams
  • For all routed process from external users with external e-mail addressed, e-mails from Windchill are considered 'spoofed' and get rejected by their exchange servers and never receive the notification
  • How to know that from which user the system generated mail has come?
Proposed Solution:
  • Customize the e-mail notifications as follows
  • A routed process or a 'Email this Page' is sent from Windchill by 'userA':
  • The notification is sent out with a 'From' field value of a Windchill Admin account called '[email protected]'
  • The notification includes the originator ([email protected]) in the carbon copy (CC) field and in the 'ReplyTo' field
  • When a recipient of the notification does a 'Reply' back, the e-mail will then reply correctly to the originator ([email protected]) instead of the Admin Account ([email protected])
