Email send from

Good evening,

i tried to setup my email notification for duplicati with this parameter:

–send-mail-url=tls://mail.gmx.net:587
–send-mail-subject=Duplicati %PARSEDRESULT%, %OPERATIONNAME% report for %backup-name%
–send-mail-to=daniel@xxxxx.at
–send-mail-username=danielxxxxx@gmx.at
–send-mail-password=xxxxxxx
–send-mail-from=duplicati danielxxxxxx@gmx.at

this wouldn’t work. I get this error:

Bildschirmfoto vom 2021-06-10 19-32-42

When i change --send-mail-from=danielxxxx@gmx.at then it work but it don’t look beautiful in my mail-app.

In the docs there is following:
Address of the email sender. If no host is supplied, the hostname of the first recipient is used. Examples of allowed formats: sender sender@example.com Mail Sender Mail Sender sender@example.com
Default value: “no-reply”

Hope somebody can help

Correct syntax is:
--send-mail-from=duplicati <danielxxxxxx@gmx.at>
