SMTP email address instead of the 'From' email address using system.report.executeAndDistribute

Ignition

Hi,

I’m trying to send a report to an email address using the system.report.executeAndDistribute function.
I get this working but I’m noticing something when receiving the email. It shows the email used in the SMTP server settings, instead of the email that is passed in the from parameter.

Does someone know what could be the problem?
I’m using Ignition 8.0.16 (Perspective).

I’m pretty sure whether a “From” address is honored or not is entirely up to the SMTP server you’re connected to.
