Hey DM,
I just setup using POP and SMTP via Mac mail with Synchronet (its great that SBBS can do POP/SMTP email)...
I sent an email today, to: User One <xxxx@4ma.xyz>, with a cc: User Two <yyyy@bbs.nz> from mac mail.
When it sent I watched the logs and noticed this:
mail 0073 SMTP <deon> deon relaying to external mail service: 4ma.xyz
mail 0073 SMTP <deon> deon relaying to external mail service: bbs.nz
mail 0073 SMTP <deon> Receiving mail message from <xxxx@xxx.dege.au> to <xxxx@bbs.nz>
mail 0073 SMTP <deon> End of message (body: 563 lines, 30587 bytes, header: 13 lines, 590 bytes)
mail 0073 SMTP <deon> Added message header #5548 from 'Deon George' #1 to <xxxx@4ma.xyz>
mail 0073 SMTP <deon> Added message header #5549 from 'Deon George' #1 to <yyyy@bbs.nz>
mail 0000 SEND Message #5548 (374 of 375) from 'Deon George' #1 to 'User One' <xxxx@4ma.xyz>
mail 0086 SEND/TLS Successfully sent message #5548 (30589 bytes, 564 lines) from 'Deon George' #1 to 'User One' <xxxx@4ma.xyz>
mail 0000 SEND Message #5549 (375 of 375) from 'Deon George' #1 to 'User One' <yyyy@bbs.nz>
mail 0086 SEND/TLS Successfully sent message #5549 (30589 bytes, 564 lines) from 'Deon George' #1 to 'User One' <yyyy@bbs.nz>
Notice that the log records both outbound emails as "User One", instead of the email to @bbs.nz should be "User Two" (on the last line above).
So I logged on and looked at sent mails via the ;MAIL, and noticed something completely different:
The message was recorded twice (OK), the first one rendered correctly (the receipients named matched the email address), the second one was different:
ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄúúúú
³ Subj: Re: fsxnet application
³ Attr: Deleted Sent KillSent
³ To : User One (yyyy@bbs.nz)
³ CC : User Two <yyyy@bbs.nz>
³ From: Deon George #1 (xxxx@xxx.dege.au)
³ Date: Sat Feb 04 2023 09:50 pm UTC+11:00 (35 minutes ago)

The "To" has the correct name, but the wrong email address.
I checked my SMTP log, and it appears the mails were sent to the right people - not sure if their names were correct though...?
