HELPLIB.HLB  —  TCPIP Services, SMTP  Personal Name String
    If you have defined an OpenVMS Mail personal name, the SMTP
    mailer appends that string to the outbound alias.

    For example, a personal name might look like the following:

    Bill L. Smith Phone: 123-456-8000

    The TCPIP$SMTP_FROM logical is defined as follows:

    $ DEFINE TCPIP$SMTP_FROM "bill.smith@xxx.com"

    The following example shows the resulting From: header:

    From: bill.smith@xxx.com (Bill L. Smith Phone: 123-456-8000)

    The personal name is appended to the From: address only if both
    of the following conditions are met:

    o  The value you give for the TCPIP$SMTP_FROM logical does not
       contain parenthetical phrases (text within parentheses).

    o  The From: address contains the SMTP domain string (the @domain
       portion of the address).

    To use a different personal name than the one defined in your
    OpenVMS Mail personal name, define the personal name string as
    part of the TCPIP$SMTP_FROM logical in a parenthetical phrase
    after the user@domain address. Separate the address from the
    parenthetical phrase with a space. Do not use double quotation
    marks (" ") in the personal name.

    For example, you can define the outbound alias logical as
    follows:

    $ DEFINE TCPIP$SMTP_FROM -
    _$ "bill.smith@xxx.com (Phone: 123-456-8000 FAX: 123-456-9000)"

    Note the following restrictions:

    o  The SMTP mailer does not allow you to define the TCPIP$SMTP_
       FROM logical using the following syntax:

       "personal-name" <user@host>

    o  Do not specify the logical as follows:

       $ DEFINE TCPIP$SMTP_FROM """personal-name"" <bill.smith@xxx.com>"

       Instead, define the logical as follows:

       $ DEFINE TCPIP$SMTP_FROM "bill.smith@xxx.com (personal-name)"
