Cause
The default value of the From address in Watch4net emails is no-reply@apgserver, but some mail servers may reject this value because "apgserver" is not a valid domain name.
Resolution
Use the mail.from Java system property to change the From address. 1) modify <BASEDIR>/bin/apg.properties by adding: mail.smtp.from=xxx@xxx.com(Watch4net 5.x)mail.from=xxx@xxx.com when using mail.from, all mail from reports will be coming from this address. 2) restart tomcat service: <BASEDIR>/APG/bin/apg-tomcat-default stop<BASEDIR>/APG/bin/apg-tomcat-default start
