I am configuring a new VPS, and decided to try nullmailer to send mail. I don't want to receive mail on the VPS, I just want the mail the system generates to end up in my mailbox elsewhere. This works, but the mail from address looks like this: "gklein <gkl...@parvos.nl>". This irks me. My account has my full name configured; why isn't it used? I am testing this as follows:
$ echo "this is a test" | mail -s Subject gkl...@parvos.nl I am unclear about which of GNU mailutils or nullmailer is responsible for this header. I've tried various things the internet suggested; none made any difference at all. While this is more an annoyance than a showstopper for me, I would like the From address to look like "My name <my@address>". Does anyone here know which program to persuade, and how to persuade it? Kind regards, Gertjan.
