sendmail TO name?

[Charles G]

I guess there is no way to specify the TO's name in the SENDMAIL command?

At least the HELP dfoesn't say anything about it...

It wouldn't be much use if you couldn't!

Sendmail address subject text

Where "address" is the destination.

I know about the TO's address but I was asking about the TO's name......

This just worked:

sendmail "Vincent E. Fatica <vefatica@foo.bar>" test hello!

But the forum screwed it up by removine some text. Inside SENDMAIL's address was

"Vincent E. Fatica [lessthan]vefatica@foo.bar[greaterthan]"
</vefatica@foo.bar>

"Vincent E. Fatica [lessthan]vefatica@foo.bar[greaterthan]"

I think there are some other combinations of name and address that SMTP servers recognize. TCC just needs the whole thing quoted (as one argument). When I received the message mentioned above, its "To:" header was:

To: "Vincent E. Fatica" [LT]vefatica@foo.bar[GT]

That's typical. And the SMTP conversation included simply

RCPT TO:[LT]vefatica@foo.bar[GT]

all as it should be AFAIK.

Include it in the address.

Rex,

I looked at the CHM for v8 and v13, under sendmail. The passing of the recpient isn't documented and in the v13 the /X param is listed under Options but not in the Format area.

It's vanilla SMTP standard, not TCC or SENDMAIL specific.
