More than one "From" address detected
-
@edwardp corrected my post by enclosing the headers in a code block because the angle brackets were not showing. So there is a name and an address on both headers and they are exactly the same.
The notification itself is not wrong in indicating that the "From" name looks like an address but it is wrong in notifying that more than one "From" address is detected. From the headers I posted above there is clearly one From only. Additionally there is a Sender header identical to the From header. The notification part about more than one address being detected started to appear only after August 2022 but there was no change in headers so vivaldi's client behavior simply changed.

One issue would be resolved if the sender simply used a name in the From: field in their mail client, or kept that field empty. It's possible that such a move could also remedy the second issue.

@yojimbo274064400 sorry for my mistake. The angle brackets are there but weren't showed. Enclosed it in a code block and now they show. So the RFC is being respected.
Thanks for correction.
Can you confirm the display name of the
From:
field value is quoted, for example:From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>
and not:
From: [email protected] <[email protected]>
FYI error messages seen can be reproduced with latter but not former.
-
@yojimbo274064400 yes I can confirm the value is quoted and has a space at the end of the quote. I also updated my initial post since it wasn't meant to show the address but I forgot to edit it out. Would appreciate you removed it also from your reply.
-
I am stumped for the moment then because the only way I can recreate the issue is by not enclosing the display name with quotation marks.

I received an e-mail this morning, where this has occurred.
I have updated VB-96396 with information and raw headers from the e-mail where this occurred.
-
@edwardp, are you able to post a redacted version of its
From:
header here? -
@yojimbo274064400 It looks like:
From: "Smith's" <[email protected]>
In the comments I added to the report, I mentioned the existence of the
From:
name being in quotes.In the mail client UI, the Sender column displays:
Smith's, Smith's
-
@edwardp And have you a "Sender:" header exactly the same? In my case I have both headers identical and I'm guessing both are being interpreted as From. I searched the raw message for the address and besides those only "Reply-To:" is the same but I would guess it is not the culprit. There is also an "Return-Path:" header with only the mail part.
P.S. I'm referring the "Sender:" header because normally I don't see it in other e-mails.

@Durtro On this particular e-mail, there is no
Sender:
header.
