That is correct. My script uses native interfaces (i.e., .Net) to submit messages, and those use NTLM/Kerberos security, and Exchange will do name resolution. This is the "proper" and supported way to do it. If you want a specific display name and address, then you need to create a mailbox with that display name and primary address. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ben Scott Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2013 5:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Ping MBS: Password Expire Reminder Email Script On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 5:27 PM, Sam Cayze <[email protected]> wrote: > And if I set: > > $SMTPfrom = "IT Help Desk <[email protected]>", > > It ignores the smtp name of "IT Help Desk" and overrides it with the > actual mailbox name, in my case 'Administrative Mailbox' I think it's Exchange that does that. At least in my experience, when you give Exchange an Internet message that references an address Exchange knows about, Exchange uses its internal display name for the address, and discards whatever display name was provided in the RFC-822 headers. -- Ben
