Restrictions for the From address is not about security.
Dear Zoho Creator,
I want to discuss a really annoying thing in Zoho Creator sendmail() function.
You have these restrictions (
https://www.zoho.com/creator/help/script/send-mail.html):
The email sent will have the email id of the application owner or the email id of the login user, as the From address. If the
From: address is not a
zoho.adminuserid or
zoho.loginuserid, the
To: address can only be
zoho.adminuserid and the sendmail task cannot have any CC: or BCC: address.
Actually, this restriction only annoys users and customers:
1. We have many different functions where we send mail to our customers
2.
ALL emails are sent using From address of the script owner, usually that's a superadmin or admin.
3. Customers do not understand why we send messages from personal address, and even from persons who are unknown to them
4. Usually such emails are sent from group addresses like info@, sales@, marketing@, etc.
Futhermore, i can set ANY email address within my domains as my primary email or can add a user with that address and send mails from these addresses.
So that's not about security, that just annoys users and customers and that's all.
The correct solutions for that problem is to allow to send mail from ANY address of ALL domains which are hosted on Zoho, or at least ANY address from domain of Zoho Admin.
Please fix that, it's really annoying for customers to receive messages from strange personal emails
Thank you.
