I am using gmail's SMTP server to send mail from my local machine (mostly for portage and cron logs) and I discovered that if I send mail using the `mail` command, rather than using my real name, something just puts my email in the From field. To make it clear it looks like this:
gmail's interface: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> actual mail text: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What I would like it to show is: gmail's interface: From: Michael [Plouj] Ploujnikov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> actual mail text: From: "Michael [Plouj] Ploujnikov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I noticed thatmy cron daemon is able to do this: From: Cron Daemon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> So far, I failed to find out what allowed cron to do this. my ssmtp config: # grep -v "#" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf| cat -s [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 UseTLS=YES UseSTARTTLS=Yes AuthUser=ploujj AuthPass=****** FromLineOverride=YES I hope this isn't too OT. Please let me know if there is a better place to ask this. Thanks. -- () ASCII Ribbon Campaign /\ - against HTML mail & vCards -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
