Sendmail

[Thiyagarajan.s]

Hi

I need to change the sender address from the default format user@host.com to somename@mydomain.com.
The domain name can be changed using the parameter DM in sendmail.cf .
for changing the sender name , i read somewhere that we need to build a generic table of dbm format - i have done the same but i ma not able to change the sender name in the outgoing mail.

I need help to change the sender name for outgoing mail.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

There is an easy way:

sendmail -f sendername@domain ....

Try this.

but the mail sent by crontab , how can i do this

[Pete Randall]

Can you just change your cron job to use Julio's "sendmail -f sendername@domain .... " syntax?

In case of mail sent by crontab (for exemplo, root), you can use alias.
