 Mail's email address I recently had to send a directory list to a friend via email. I used the command... ls -l | mail email@address.com ....and off it went. However, in the mail he received, my email address was shown as user@hostname.dnsdomainname[1] How do I fix this so it shows my proper email address? [1] - replace hostname and dnsdomainname with what you'd get if you typed the commands of the same name.      |

Your mailserver is using the machine name for it's own name. If your using postfix change myorigin = domain.tld and reload postfix. I don't know what the sendmail equivalent is  .-- del 8-) |

"man mail" (assuming nail, Slackware 9.x) has 2 possible solutions: the "from" variable or the -r option. -- /dev/rob0 - preferred_email=i$((28*28+28))@softhome.net or put "not-spam" or "/dev/rob0" in Subject header to reply |
