How can I masquerade user name using sendmail

[josel]

Howdy!

Using SCO UNIX and sendmail, how can I masquerate the sender's name?

Right now, I have josel@domain.com going on all outbound. I want it to go as Jose.Lerebours@domain.com.

Please help, this is killing me!

Thanks;


Jose Lerebours

You can play with the -f or -F option of sendmail.

If this is an automated mail process, use the "submit" command instead of the "sendmail" command to more easily control the from line.

See thread58-699595 for details if this is what you are needing.

apeasecpc,

Your suggestion looks like it might give me a work around my problem but, I do not have /usr/mmdf/bin installed.

When server was configured, sendmail was installed in lieu of mmdf. I do have /usr/mmdf with only mmdftailor in it (this is where I masquerate my domain name).

You see, we run a unix based application but our mail server is MS Exchange and need to have all of our users properly masked both, sender and domain name.

This is becaming a big problem for me. Any other suggestions?

Thanks;


Jose
