Solaris outgoing mail thru comcast cable mail
- Thread starter watchung
- Start date
what is comcast? I just check this: it's a "webmailer". Do you want Solaris to use a login@comcast.net as a "From:" adress?
If this is, what you want:
mailx -s "Hello again!" -r watchung@comcast.net themailrecepient@hotmail < mymail
will do
If you use a graphical mailprogram such as dtmail you just need to set "From:" field permanently to your value. Check in dtmail Options -> Compose Window; Custom Header Field Section -> set From: to your "<Fristname Lastname> watchung@comcast.net", not sure if the mailadress or first and lastname is in <>, give it a try...
Best Regards, Franz
