We need to be able to send e-mails with various different return addresses for example: The Xyz Company <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or Support Systems Ltd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have changed the return-path in the header of all outgoing e-mails by using: return_path = $ reply_address This seemed to work fine. However some remote mail servers (by no means all) and rejecting the the e-mails sent to the with a 501 error. It appears that Exim could be constructing the return_path as follows: <The Xyz Company <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> Adding an extra set of < > around the complete address. This can be see in the log file as P=<The Xyz Company <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>. I have a couple of questions about this: 1. Is this expected behaviour and is the syntax of the return_path created therefore legal (i.e. are the remote SMTP servers rejecting this unnecessarily)? 2. How can this be changed to strip the excess < > before sending? Can this be done with a rewrite rule or by some other method? Thanks in advance, Lee -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
