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)"
