Send as in Acronis Ture Image home 2012

Thread needs solution

Hi,

is there a way to change the email used to send notfications in ATIH2012? The reason is that mine seems to send it's email using only "@videotron.ca" (no username) and that gets blocked by all the anti-spams.

Thank you

On the backup task, click edit backup settings, then click on the blue backup options link, go to the notifications tab and change the information there.

That's the thing, I can change to what e-mail I want to send it to, and the smtp server but not the email used to sent it. Am I missing something?

I do this in the B&R 11 easily but it's just doesn't seem to be there in the home version.

The email used to send it is the username used for the smtp server authentication. There is no option to change the "from" field.

Wow that's stupid. (Not your comment but this program) A lot of ISPs don't use the email as the authentification to the smtp server or even don't use smtp authentification at all! What do you do then? For example with videotron you can send using port 25 with no authentification (which makes acronis send an email using "@videotron.ca" that gets blocked but any sensible antispam) or using port 587 with authentification but the authentification username is your videotron client number VLxxxxx (which makes acronis send an email as vlxxxx@videotron.com)

Can someone at acronis resolve this issue that wasn't there in previous versions of this program or in hte B&R suite?
