Description
This option allows you to use the signature of the user (or group or shared mailbox) you are sending the email on behalf of. So, even though you drafted and sent the email on behalf of someone else (user, group or shared mailbox), you will receive replies with all the contact details of the user (or group or shared mailbox) you sent the email on behalf of.
There can be various scenarios where this feature is explicitly useful; some examples are listed below:
Some organizations may have:
- Admin staff send emails on behalf of lawyers, solicitors, attorneys.
- Sales staff send emails on behalf of Sales colleagues.
Another scenario: let's assume that Chris sends an email on behalf of his Support team. Now,
- If this option is not selected, then Chris' signature will be applied to the email.
- If this option is selected, then the 'Support' team signature will be applied to the email.
