I was wrong about rkhunter, it does not support changing the From: |
| 24 |
header, EMAIL_SENDER is ignored. I worked round this by adding a custom |
| 25 |
header ot the mails and filtering on that. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
EMAIL_CMD="|Mail -s \"${EMAIL_SUBJECT}\" -a \"X-Rootkit-Hunter: cron |
| 28 |
report\" ${EMAIL_RECIPIENT}" |
