[email protected]: I don't know if you already got help with this elsewhere 
and it's resolved, but I was able to see your screenshot after downloading it 
on my laptop.

So it’s not an error with the tls cert. Yours looks to be an error produced by 
/mail/lib/validateaddress, and as you thought, for ‘glenda’. If it’s supposed 
to be [email protected], I think I’d first see why the smtp is failing with 
a remote mail call. I know you said you didn’t get into the nitty-gritty, but 
if I were you, I’d put some diagnostic lines in /mail/lib/remotemail to see 
what $1 etc. are, and to see what upasname is. For example, I’ve added 
something like:
    echo `{date} ‘upasname=‘^$upasname args: $* >> /sys/log/remotemail
around the top to see what upasname is set to, and the args being passed in. 
Then you can also test to see what $fd is being set to further on to determine 
if that is what you expect, and finally test the upas/smtp call separately with 
the values that are set. It might be as simple as just updating the sender= 
assignment at the top of /mail/lib/remotemail, in your case.
