Email display name

Luke5 years ago

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 &lt;mytraccaremail@gmail.com&gt;</entry>

but still receive the following error when using the Test notification button

555 5.5.2 Syntax error. j4sm7210961wrp.51 - gsmtp
 - SMTPSendFailedException (... < MailManager:143 < *:92 < NotificatorMail:34 < NotificationResource:63 < ...)

Whenever I just the email address in this field the email sends, I am using Traccar 4.8, any advice appreciated

Thank you

You can only use email address in the "from" field.

Was this functionality removed? As the advice you gave in the below thread worked for this person

Actually it looks like it should work:

https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/mail/internet/InternetAddress.html

I guess your issue is with something else.

I know it's been 2 years, but did you get it to work Luke? I'm having the same issue.
