Mercury Mail rejecting Properly Formatted Emails

[quote user="damurphy"]

Mercury Mail Server is rejecting emails of the form <<Sender> name@sender.com>

Appendix C of RFC822 (which defines email address formats in headers)

suggests that including the name in front of the email address (as

"Fred bloggs<fred@somewhere.com>") is perfectly acceptable, and

even encouraged.

This needs to be fixed since the Mercury server rejects the incoming emails as emails to unknown addressees.

<Sender> name@sender.com is an improper form.  The forms are "Sender" <name@sender.com>, or Sender <name@sender.com> or name@sender.com (Sender)  In addition, I'd check to make sure that you have matching <> where required.
