The "Display sender�s name on messages" option in the Exchange Management Console of Exchange Server 2007 does not work for Message Delivery Notifications (MDNs) that are to remote domains

In an Exchange Server 2007 environment, you may want to prevent display names from being sent in outgoing SMTP messages. To do this, you disable the Display sender�s name on messages option in the Exchange Management Console (EMC). However, the display names are still included for Message Delivery Notifications (MDNs) that are sent to remote domains.

This issue occurs because Exchange Server 2007 performs a specific routine for MDNs. This routine bypasses the conversion of the display names.
