(the sendmail call was missing angle brackets in the previous version of this message)
When called from the command line, Exim 4.69 rejects colons in the from name: /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -t -f foo: bar <[email protected]> [email protected] exim: bad -f address "foo:\ bar\<[email protected]\>": missing or malformed local part (expected word or "<") Looks like someone else ran in to this problem with exim 4.5: http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1483999 I know I can work around the problem by quoting the text ("foo: bar"). However, Postfix allows this. Is exim’s opinion: A: that this is malformed, and exim is correct in rejecting it? B: that this is malformed, but exim should handle it anyway? (i.e. this is a bug) Or is this simply fixed in a newer version of exim? (I’m not root on this machine and can’t upgrade.) Paul
