Design Considerations

The reason that FEB as of 8.6.2) does not allow a user to redefine the sender of an email is because it can pose a security risk.  Depending on how the email server is configured a user could potentially send an email as someone else.  This custom transport passes the control from the FEB server to the application designer.  If you are going to use this service (or one like it) then you need to make sure that your form designers understand the concerns associated with it.
