Database e-mail does not display specified name

  • Hi Everybody,

    When I send an e-mail using database mail, the sender's name displayed on the e-mail is different from what is specified in the "Display Name" field for the account.

    Following are the configuration details of my account:

    E-mail address: ems@klog.in

    Display name: Kotak Global Logistics Ltd.

    Server name: 192.168.0.5

    Port number: 231

    SMTP Authentication: Basic authentication

    The sender's name displayed on the e-mail is "ems" instead of "Kotak Global Logistics Ltd.".

    Please advise the solution for this problem.

  • Can you please suuply the TSQL code you're using?

    Ex:

    EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @recipients = 'jdoe@gmail.com'

    , @subject='Test', @body = 'Test'

    Also, you may want to check the settings in >> Management >> Database Mail >> Manage Database Mail accounts and profiles >> View, Change, or Delete an existing account for the "Display Name"

  • Thanks for your reply!

    Following is the TSQL that I am using:

    EXEC sp_send_dbmail @profile_name='EMS', @recipients='utpal@srpfpl.com',

    @subject='Test Message', @body='This is the body of the test message.'

    The display name in Account settings is "Kotak Global Logistics Ltd.".

  • Can you set Email Address as Kotak Global Logistics Ltd. in account configuration. Try testing with test email.

    I think mentioning your email address as ems@klog.in wouldn't matter.

    M&M

  • Hi Mohammed,

    I am not able to set the e-mail address to "Kotak Global Logistics Ltd.", because it is invalid.

  • Thanks Utpal for letting me know

    M&M
