I am using gmail's SMTP server to send mail from my local machine |
2 |
(mostly for portage and cron logs) and I discovered that if I send |
3 |
mail using the `mail` command, rather than using my real name, |
4 |
something just puts my email in the From field. To make it clear it |
5 |
looks like this: |
6 |
|
7 |
gmail's interface: |
8 |
From: ploujj@×××××.com <ploujj@×××××.com> |
9 |
|
10 |
actual mail text: |
11 |
From: ploujj@×××××.com |
12 |
|
13 |
What I would like it to show is: |
14 |
gmail's interface: |
15 |
From: Michael [Plouj] Ploujnikov <ploujj@×××××.com> |
16 |
|
17 |
actual mail text: |
18 |
From: "Michael [Plouj] Ploujnikov" <ploujj@×××××.com> |
19 |
|
20 |
I noticed thatmy cron daemon is able to do this: |
21 |
From: Cron Daemon <ploujj@×××××.com> |
22 |
|
23 |
So far, I failed to find out what allowed cron to do this. |
24 |
|
25 |
my ssmtp config: |
26 |
|
27 |
# grep -v "#" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf| cat -s |
28 |
root=ploujj@×××××.com |
29 |
mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 |
30 |
UseTLS=YES |
31 |
UseSTARTTLS=Yes |
32 |
AuthUser=ploujj |
33 |
AuthPass=****** |
34 |
FromLineOverride=YES |
35 |
|
36 |
I hope this isn't too OT. Please let me know if there is a better |
37 |
place to ask this. |
