We have been beating this drum for ages, most recently here: https://www.theinternetpatrol.com/warning-having-email-display-senders-contact-image-and-info-helps-scammers-get-in-through-the-cracks/ ..which implores businesses to get rid of the so-called 'friendly' name (the same thing you are talking about) and includes an example where a company was scammed out of $4million dollars with exactly this method - hopefully your company's losses were much less. :-( Anne -- Anne P.
