Howdy,

I had this in the logs today - a valid email address, which was accepted to be sent, but when it tried to send it, it failed:

8/18 17:07:14 term Node 1 <Alterego> sent Internet Mail to Anthony A... <the.ertceps (Anthony A... <the.ertceps@g...>)
8/18 17:07:15 mail 0000 SEND Message #400 (113 of 113) from Deon George #1 deon.george@bbs... to Anthony A... <the.ertceps [Anthony A... <the.ertceps@g...>]

8/18 17:07:15 mail 0000 SEND !Delivery failure notification (message #401) created for Deon George

(The ... is me redacting the details.)

IE: In the to field, the email was entered as "User Name <email@domain.address>"

This is a valid email address format right? Can SBBS handle that?

Not when sending from the BBS. Only name@address is supported. It's conceivable that the name could be parsed out separately, but that's not currently done.
