Now we want the sender without <> and the recipient without '<>'. I think we have to do this in the props.conf with a regex but how?? Can someone help us?

You can create a calculate field to remove < & >. Use this for the eval function replace(sender, "\<|\>", "") You can create one for sender and a different one for recipient
