It cannot be done. The format the MX uses is the correct one; the other is an older format which is now being discouraged. The reason for that is that the leading phrase on the newer format is specifically for a personal name, and gateways between SMTP and other mail systems know that and can propagate the personal name correctly. In the older form, the comment following the address is just a comment - any number of which may appear in an address - and can't necessarily be identified as a personal name. -Matt -- Matthew Madison | madison@tgv.com | +1 408 427 4366 TGV, Inc. | 603 Mission Street | Santa Cruz, CA 95060 USA
