...Solved...

Hi all,

When I send an e-mail to, let's say, 3 people and just put the e-mails in the 'To' line (UebiMiau) like this: name@domain.com, friend@friendsdomain.com, this@that.net etc and they want to send an e-mail back to all, some people are called: ""@serv.hosting.com" <this@that.net>
Does anybody know how to get rid of this? Has anyone had this problem as well? Please help me.

Thanks in advance,
Joost

A small update here: the recipients don't get the problem with the strange names, it's just me who gets the problem when I read the mail which I sent. Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

Hello,

Check your mail setting through UebiMiau .. make sure your from address is setup correctly.

That's not what I meant, sorry... Thank you for your response though!
I'll attach a picture which shows you the problem. I sent the mails to (to-line): demo@vermue.net, another@vermue.net, myown@otheremail.com. How could this problem be solved?

Thank you,
Joost

Hmm.. check the headers of the email. It might be their client adding the name incorrectly when they hit reply. It also could be the "Return-Path" header getting in the way, but I can't really say why it's doing that.

In the header it says:
To: "his name" <he@address.com>,
"other@hotmail.com"@serv03.4uhosting.nl,

The first is the lad with the name normal on it, the second is the one called "@serv03.4uhosting.nl

I'm glad it's only a problem when someone sends a mail to multiple addresses without adding their names in front of the addres... And I'm glad other don't see this problem (outside my webmail). If anyone's got a solution for this problem, feel free to tell me it! :D
Thanks for your help John.

Try looking at the http source code for the page that is not displaying correctly, it could be that the multiple address are screwing up the http display. The lines to look for contain the text
newmsg.php?nametoThe look at what is between the
>________</a>where the ______ is, should look like normal email addresses, if it is not, then Ubiumail is messing it up somewhere.

Thank you toml (and John). This is what I changed:
in class.smtp.php:

line 215:

$addr_str .= sprintf(", \r\n\t\"%s"", $addr[$i][0]);

to:


$addr_str .= sprintf(", \r\n\t\<%s>", $addr[$i][0]);

Thanks again!
