SENDER option in MAIL Command ?

[nithink]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Unix Mail command. Is there any way I can change the SENDER's name.

Is there any option to change the Sender's name ?

Thanks in Advance

Not entirely sure it's what you're after but you can use the perl module Mail::Sender. It lets you specify a "fake from" address which can be anything you like so long as it's formatted correctly eg me@mypc.com.

Just put the name in front of the email address and put the email address in angle brackets < > like list.

&quot;Full Name&quot; <user@domain>

This is not a mail command feature. It is part of the email protocal. This will work with any email program that doesn't try to modify what you put in the address field.

You can send the message using sendmail directly. See this FAQ for a sample script:
