I want to mail to some people. I use command elm to do it. I want the sender name of the mail is "system administrator" when the receive my mail. How can I realize it.

Hi,

You could change "Super-User" in the /etc/passwd to "System Administrator"

man elm offers following:

elmrc configuration file: A file, $HOME/.elm/elmrc, that defines the initial values for elm configuration variables.

fullname: The name the mailer will use when
sending mail from you. The default is
the full name portion (everything up to
the first comma) of the pw_gecos field
from your entry in the /etc/passwd file.
This field can be set with the chfn
command (see chfn(1), finger(1), and
passwd(4)).

You can also use "options Menu" to change the configuration.

Give it a try.
