Failed to send email for a triggered alarm

Hi,

I’m trying to configure email notification when something happen in my VMware infrastructure (version 5.5).

I configured SMTP server and sender account

But when alarm appear I have error:

"An error occurred while sending email notification of a triggered alarm

Failed to send email for a triggered alarm

Action: Check the vCenter Server SMTP settings for sending email notifications"

From SMTP server side looking into log I found that value "from" is different which I set in vSphere

EHLO - +vCenterApp 250 0 196 15 0 SMTP - - - -

MAIL - +From:<root@vCenterApp> 250 0 40 37 0 SMTP - - - -

RCPT - +To:<MyEmail@My.Domain> 250 0 42 39 0 SMTP - - - -

DATA - +<201609191207.u8JC7PLR018561@vCenterApp> 250 0 124 1077 234 SMTP - - - -

QUIT - vCenterApp 240 234 68 4 0 SMTP - - - -

My SMTP server accept only sender "notifikacje@My.Domain"

Anyone know how to fix it?
