Greetings, Supreme Council.

                    If Range("D" + CStr(j)) <> "" Then Arr = 1: j = j - 1
1                   .AddAttachment (Atch1)
                Next
                .Send

As I'm sure some have already surmised, I'm getting a "501 5.5.4 Invalid Address" error message because the sender address, "THE REALLY MARVELOUS COMPANY," is not in standard Who@what.ext format.

What I'm up against is that The Powers want the outgoing emails to say "THE REALLY MARVELOUS COMPANY" in the From: field; or, more specifically, they do not want the name of our company's return email address, because we are working as a management proxy and the client wishes that to remain less-well-known; our 3-character company name is the domain to and from which all emails flow, so not having it in the From: address is key to keeping them happy, and thus, me employed.

Is there a way, and I hope that only my panic keeps me from seeing it, that I can put "THE REALLY MARVELOUS COMPANY" in the From: field, have the program recognize it and say, "Aha! What he really means is 'TheClientsServiceOffice@TRMC.com'," and have the emails sent with the organization identifier instead of the actual source address in the From: field?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean:

.From = "THE REALLY MARVELOUS COMPANY< TheClientsServiceOffice@TRMC.com>"

?

Remove the space after the "<" in your code. I've had to include it to prevent HTML rendering by the forum software.

Well, yes but no.

It came out THE REALLY MARVELOUS COMPANY[ManagementProxyCompany@MPC.com] in the From: field, so it did add what I wanted but did not remove what I did not want.

Any progress is good progess . . . so thans for that. I'll keep tyring.
