I see. I don't believe there is a way to hide the account behind the name but then again, I've never tried to do it that way.

You could try using mutt, It allows seting the REPLYTO address, eg:

Code:
REPLYTO="ITSupport"
export REPLYTO
echo "Message" | mutt -s "subject" -a /file/to/attach.txt RECIPIENT...

Hi,
I am using AIX OS.
I dont think so Mutt can be used with AIX.
Is there any other option available?

We have mutt running on AIX 5.3 try /opt/freeware/bin/mutt

Or you can download from the IBM toobox: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/...lbox/date.html

You could try imbedding the Reply-To: or From: headers in the subject

Try:

Code:
echo "Message" | mailx -s "Subject
Reply-To: ITSupport" cnraja@localhost.com

or

Code:
echo "Message" | mailx -s "Subject
From: ITSupport" cnraja@localhost.com

Otherwise you may just have to use no-reply@domain.com and hope your receipents are smart enough to realise.
