Answer 1

I believe if you look at the mail object in the .Net Framework, you could do what you wish to do.

Answer 2

SPUtility.SendMail will always use the from smtp address as specified in Central Administration > Outgoing Email Settings and the friendly name is set to the title of the site.

Instead you can use (from http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/3.2.1.aspx)

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();

//set the addresses
//to specify a friendly 'from' name, we use a different ctor
mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Steve James" );
mail.To.Add("[email protected]");

//set the content
mail.Subject = "This is an email";
mail.Body = "this is the body content of the email.";

//send the message
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1");
smtp.Send(mail);
