Subject: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox] fix #6188: notify: smtp: quote sender's display name if needed
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2025 14:54:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250626125429.347246-1-l.wagner@proxmox.com> (raw)
RFC5322 requires to quote the display name if certain special characters
are used (see diff).
Signed-off-by: Lukas Wagner <l.wagner@proxmox.com>

Notes:
The sendmail endpoint does not seem to need this, apparently sendmail
does the quoting automatically.
