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)"
