However, +if you include a {\bf display-name} (see RFC 5332), some SMTP servers +such as Exchange may not accept the message if the {\bf display-name} is +also included in \lt{} and \gt{}. As mentioned above, you must test, and +if you run into this situation, you may manually add the \lt{} and \gt{} +to the Bacula {\bf mailcommand} or {\bf operatorcommand} and when +{\bf bsmtp} is formatting an address if it already contains a \lt{} or +\gt{} character, it will leave the address unchanged. + \section{dbcheck} \label{dbcheck} \index[general]{Dbcheck} -- 2.39.5
