OK. I understand. Thanks. I messed the things when composing my
question. I will try again.
The sendmail man page says:
-f address
Sets the From: address. This is just the E-mail address only,
not the name.
So when I run:
cat mess | sendmail -n -f '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' -F 'Eduardo Roldan'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I get as output:
Subject: How are you doing?
From: Eduardo Roldan <eduardo>
Hello guys
How are you doing?
mess file contains only the Subject: header, a newline and the 'Hello
guys ...' stuff.
Why sendmail doesn't add the From: header as I specified with -f switch
(note that -F is adding my name correctly)

I found DSNNOTIFY in courierd. But where I specify what are the
systemwide options? Where can I find the DSN default that will apply to
the -N senmail option?
