- Hi;
-
-
- I am having some trouble with the format of the From: line. Before I
- go into my problem here is a bit of background info.
-
- I have a client that forwards all mail off to a host in order to
- deliver the mail. The name of the client is "joe.cs.umn.edu", and
- the name of the host is "smoe.cs.umn.edu". I want mail to appear as
- though it originated from "cs.umn.edu". My client it running SunOS
- sendmail 4.1, and my host is running 5.65c+IDA
-
- Now, my problem. My client does not write the From: line in the form of:
-
- From: iacovou@cs.umn.edu (Danny Iacovou)
-
- Instead, it writes it in the form of:
-
- From: iacovou@cs.umn.edu
-
-
- I really want to add the full name in the From: line.
-
- Here are what some of my "defines" are set to:
-
- # format of a total name
- Dq$g$?x ($x)$.
-
-
- H?P?Return-Path: <$g>
- HReceived: $?sfrom $s $.by $j
- id $i; $v/$V; $b
- H?D?Resent-Date: $a
- H?D?Date: $a
- H?F?Resent-From: $q
- H?F?From: $?C$g$|$q$.
- H?x?Full-Name: $x
- HSubject:
- H?M?Resent-Message-Id: <$t.$i@$j>
- H?M?Message-Id: <$t.$i@$j>
-
-
- As far as I can tell, $x is never getting set to the full name.
- It also follows that when I telnet to port 25 and try to vrfy I
- get a "<username>" as a reply given the command "vrfy username".
-
-
- Any ideas?
