hello,

I want to set the mail sender to noreply@<mydomain.com>
I have invited this address as an administrator account but the status
is pending. I tested and it seems mail can not be sent from that
address until the account is confirmed.
However confirming the account is awkward - my client administers the
domain and there will be a lot of bureaucracy involved.

Is there a way to send from this address without confirming the
account?

No, you will need the account confirmed. We can only send email from a logged in user, administrator address or a valid receiving email address:

Is it possible to pay a fee and just get the address marked as
confirmed?
(BTW that documentation doesn't specify the administration account
must be confirmed.)

If that were possible, what would stop me from using
the...@domain.com to send emails? That is why it needs to be
confirmed.

There are easier ways to send spam, if that was my aim.

Hello, 

I'm googling around trying to figure out if there is a way to send mail in google app engine from an account alias.  Basically, I want to send mail from no-reply@domain without having to create (and pay for) another google business app user for this purpose.

Is this possible?

Thank you

No, it's not possible. The sending email address has to be:
 
(1) the logged in user  (if the logged in user is a Gmail/Google Apps user)
(2) An administrator for that App Engine application (so it would have to be a confirmed, full account)
(3) A valid receiving address for that application (which is [arbitrary-string-here]@[your-application-id].appspotmail.com)
 
As an alternative, you can register for SendGrid or another email-sending service and send your emails from there using any arbitrary from address you want (it doesn't conflict with Google Apps because SendGrid can send from a subdomain, for example mail.example.com).
