RE: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address
Thanks for the reply. I did try the bcc option but if you click on the recipients name it resolves to the correct name - i.e. if John Smith is in the TO: when you click on it you get the properties for John Smith. In my case, when you click on the name it resolves to Dave Jones. When I tracked the message, the message had the recipient as Dave Jones but on the email message itself the recipient was John Smith. Be kind people - but I still don't understand how this is happening.

RE: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address
Title: RE: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address Most spammers have a program which reads a list of email addresses. When connecting to an SMTP server the program can specify a Display Name and an email address. For example, if you are using Outlook Express you can specify an email address of 'Joe Smoe [EMAIL PROTECTED]' This will be sent to the email address but with the name Joe Smoe. Spamming does this so that you Do not see information they want to hide.

RE: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address
Spamsomeone has made a distibution list containing her email address...they do it this way so you don't see the other recipients in the list. thanks, Fred Valdez Network Administrator -Original Message- From: Cris Vitsorek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 12:18 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address I have a case where User JSmith received an email in her inbox that was addressed in the TO: field to KJones.

It also happens when the email was Bcc'ed to someone. The Bcc recipients email show the To: of the person to whom the email was sent. /\/iels -Original Message- From: Fred Valdez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 3:23 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address Spamsomeone has made a distibution list containing her email address...they do it this way so you don't see the other recipients in the list. thanks, Fred Valdez Network Administrator -Original Message- From: Cris Vitsorek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 12:18 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Recipient Name in an email different than SMTP Address I have a case where User JSmith received an email in her inbox that was addressed in the TO: field to KJones.
