Re: Illegal address syntax

The invalid is not my email address but the mail to <"hidden Full name (hidden username@gmail.com)"> e.g <"Juma Rashid (juma.rashid@gmail.com)">. Am just replying to that address where the original mail came from.

Re: Illegal address syntax

Obviously, this is a illegal address syntax. You should fix it before sending out email.

Re: Illegal address syntax

There is no any setting in Postfix that will automatically fix this issue?  This is happening to my clients and therefore difficult to make a training on how they can fix before sending.

Re: Illegal address syntax

No. Postfix cannot do everything for you.
