• I want to use a Group email address as the "From" address for forwarding submissions made on a custom PHP contact form.
• I don't want to use an existing or new user's account.
• I don't want to use the alias of an existing or new user's account.

Obviously it makes no sense to have POP access for a Group email address, since it's an address that has no mailbox and just forwards a copy of incoming mails to all its members.

But it can have SMTP access, whereby I can connect to Zoho's SMTP servers, authenticate as the Group email address and send out an email with the Group email address as the From address.

The problem is:

• I don't know if it's technically possible for Zoho or whether Zoho will make such a feature available.
• A password will need to be set up for the SMTP access of the Group email address. Currently there is no provision to set up any kind of password for Group email addresses.
  

Any idea?
