The From: header is either A) already present in the submitted RFC5322-compliant message, or B) provided on the sendmail(1) commandline with the -F flag, or C) taken from the NAME environment variable, or D) taken from the envelope sender provided with the -f flag if none of the above apply. http://www.postfix.org/sendmail.1.html but Sendmail (Sendmail Consortium) sends message from user by RFC implementation (the fullname is before the address with angle bracket). Can postfix developers do rewrite engine (cleanup_message.c and other) for RFC implementation? What does sendmail(1) have to do with cleanup(8) ? Postfix is an MTA, it does not rewrite mail unless you specifically tell it to. If your client submits mail with the legacy form of the From: header, fix the client. -- J.

I send the message via sendmail(1) - sendmail -F 'Fullname' drtr0...@domain.tld And I get the header: Postfix's sendmail(1): From: sen...@domain.tld (Fullname) Sendmail inc. sendmail(1): From: Fullname sen...@domain.tld 24.05.2011, 17:49, Jeroen Geilman jer...@adaptr.nl: And then formats it as Sender (full name). Why?
