Problem conclusion

• Three new parameters were added named
  ReportMailFrom,ReportSysoutClass and MailBoxCompatibility for
  the CSSMTP configuration file to enable CSSMTP for default Mail
  From, Sysout class and longer mail box/user names.
  
  ReportMailFrom will enable a default mail from for error
  reports, when the Mail From field is blank.
  
  ReportSysoutClass will let the client set the Sysout class to be
  sent the error reports.
  
  MailBoxCompatibility will let the customer select if the mail
  box size is Standard (64 chars) or Long (256 chars). If the
  MailBoxCompatibility is set to Long, CSSMTP with support the
  mailbox length up to 256 characters. If it is not specified or
  is set to Standard the mailbox length will be 64.
