John, I'm not an Exchange expert but I think that the Exchange server settings are going to over ride just about anything you do. Often the Exchange Admins will set it up so that if the email doesn't originate within Exchange, the display name of the associated email address will not show. This prevents spam from outside looking like legitimate email. We went through this for some time where we only saw the senders email address and not the display name. Again it was for security reasons. Thankfully, our Exchange admins have now set up the Exchange servers so that as long as it's sent from a valid mailbox that requires a login, they will associate the display name. Dave

Since the move, emails sent out from Remedy are no longer spoofing the display name, although they are still spoofing the "From" and "Reply to" email addresses. Before the mailbox move, an email with my account name spoofed as the "From" & "Reply To" names would come in as "John Hanson", but now that same email is coming in as "Remedy [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". I have already looked at the AR System Email Mailbox Configuration form for the outgoing mailbox under the Advanced tab, and noted that there is a field for "Display Name", currently set to "Remedy". Is there a way for this display name to dynamically change for each email that Remedy sends out? The Exchange admins say that the reason that Exchange is no longer translating the name is due to increased security restrictions on the new server. Any help is greatly appreciated.
