| Another question - is it possible to change the "From:" | field with something in .mailrc or whatever; there has Not sure about 'mail', but 'elm' can be set up to do that (or insert a Reply-To: if you wish) | been some discussion about systems that are so sloppy | they send out usernames in mail addresses recently... Most do.. | Not security-conscious un*x of course, but .... Most do.. | The sort of thing we might want is for mail to come "from" | an official alias for the user (eg S.V.Platt for me); | rather than from the <username> ... You want the IDA sendmail enhancement kit. We use that at Brunel. It allows us to map the default 'username@ee.brunel.ac.uk' address into the official 'Full.Name@brunel.ac.uk' version that you see outside. The reverse translation is done for incoming mail, of course!
