Hm,

I used normal port 25 without SSL stuff.
So maybe curl does something. I'll check that tomorrow.

Hi,

If I send on port 587 without TLS I can see the following in wireshark:
C: MAIL FROM:<Tester <bkk@XXXXXXX.de>>
But I can also see an additional IMF packet with the correct from header.

When I send it from Thunderbird I see
C: MAIL FROM:<bkk@XXXXXXX.de>
And also the IFM packet with the alias name inside.

So it looks like that it really depends on the SMTP server.
In my case postfix smtpd it works.

I don't know if it is possible to remove the alias from the C: MAIL FROM packet and only send it in the
IFM packet.
That's a Fred task.

Bernd
