App Engine provides a service for sending email messages from web applications.
The sender ("From:") address of a message sent from an application can be either the email address of a registered administrator, or the email address of the current signed-in user (the user who made the request that is sending the message). Errors and bounce messages are sent to the sender address. The sender address also receives a copy of the message if it is the current signed-in user.
