Hello everybody,
I am trying to have sendmail do user-name substitution for the sender's
name in outgoing mail, without having to run NIS.
You can also call it 'reverse aliasing': I would like full human names to
appear in the "From:" field instead of unreadable login-names:

Example:
Instead of               "From: jmk@foo.bar.edu"
it should be             "From: John.Kelter@foo.bar.edu"

Is there a way to do this with the standard sendmail coming with SunOS
4.1, but without using NIS?

My configuration: I am running SunOS 4.1 on a Sparc 1+ with the standard
/usr/lib/sendmail.mx program.

Thanks in advance for your help!
