internal E-Mail client - add "sender address" and make authentication optional

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

with one of the recent major Versions, Storage Virtualize introduced a completetly new e-mail client, which is a great addition to the previous implementation.

In the new client we can have a custom port and support for encryption. Also authentication information for the relay or mail host of a client is present - but here is the issue, this is mandatory and not optional. There are many customers, that have relay servers in their management network, that do not use authentication and therefore will reject mail from Storage Virtualize, since they start the mail dialogiue with the Auth phrase. 

The email notification is the primary method for alerting the client himself, since call home is quiet often already transfered to the cloud call home. It would be great to hava a radio button - "Auth required" Yes/No

Additionally, the systems still do not have a customizable field for a custom sender address to make males better visible int he IT department inbox.
