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.

Hope This Help, PH.

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
