Task notification emails malformed
« on: June 20, 2009, 10:00:55 pm »
Greetings all,

Fresh install 1.4.2, admin user plus one first_new_user.

When user admin updates a task assigned to first_new_user, the task update notification is sent by email **but** the email is somewhere being malformed on the recipient's list. A '<' is being inserted before the DisplayName, turning the recipient's format invalid:

<UserDisplayedName <username@someotherhost.com>

Attached the failure notice:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at hm855.somewhere.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<UserDisplayedName <username@someotherhost.com>:
xxx.xxx.203.7 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 sorry, that mailbox isn't in my list of allowed mailboxes (#5.7.1)

Thanks !

Fernando

What web server are you using? What version of PHP?

Ignacio,

The app is running under a hosted Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 PHP 5.2.5 server, but did you recheck the email address below??? Note the "<" preceding the UserDisplayName:

<UserDisplayedName <username@someotherhost.com>

As is, the email address is actually malformed, shouldn't it be:

"UserDisplayedName <username@someotherhost.com>" or
"UserDisplayedName" <username@someotherhost.com>

And please note that the email is being delivered (authentication is correct at my installation), the server response I attached on the first post is a reply from it.
