   <title>Having a period in your &quot;full name&quot; in a given identity yiel</title> 
   <description>Having a period in your &quot;full name&quot; in a given identity yields a malformed from address when passed to the MTA.



Example:



Fullname: J.H.

e-mail: jh@example.com



Yields:



There was an error sending your message: Validation failed for: J.H. &lt;jh@example.com&gt;



In the compose window for an e-mail, and yields something akin to:



Feb 23 22:00:19 server sendmail[30803]: n1O60J3H030803: server.example.com [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA



(at least for sendmail)



This looks like the from address is actually getting 



J.H. &lt;jh@example.com&gt;



as opposed to what I believe is actually correct as



&quot;J.H.&quot; &lt;jh@example.com&gt;



Removing the &#039;.&#039; characters from the full name identity does succeed in sending mail</description>
