Hello, How do I prevent Sendmail from re-writing the users full name (taken from /etc/passwd) and allow the mail client to write the users full name instead? I'm not sure exactly what the terminology is, so I will give an example: If I have a generic user account called 'mail', and the full name in /etc/passwd is 'Generic Mail Account', how can I configure things so that mail sent out on the account is shown as 'John Doe' rather than 'Generic Mail Account'? The reason for this is that I want several people to be able to send mail out on one account, but under different names. Am I making any sense? Can anyone point me in the right direction? If I knew the terminology better as to what I am asking for, I could perhaps be better able to search for the answer myself. -- Damien Tougas Converging Technology Solutions, Inc.
