I guess your issue is with something else.

Hello,
First thanks for the awesome application! I'm just configuring the email notification part of traccar and I'm attempting to set up the display name of what the emails are sent from.
I've seen the following threads
https://www.traccar.org/forums/topic/smtp-settings-to-display-name-of-sender-instead-of-email/
https://www.traccar.org/forums/topic/smtp-display-name/
and have formatted the from line as below
<entry key='mail.smtp.from'>Lorems Traccar <mytraccaremail@gmail.com></entry>
but still receive the following error when using the Test notification button
Whenever I just the email address in this field the email sends, I am using Traccar 4.8, any advice appreciated
Thank you
