Changing Dispatcher's name in Mail-function
Hi,

currently I am using following command to send a mail:


Code:
 
mail -s"Query result" $TO $CC < input_file

It works, but I want to change the dispatcher's name / sender's name.
I tried to find something in "man mail", but I didn't find anything.

can someone help me?

THX

---------- Post updated at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous update was at 06:36 AM ----------

I tried the option -r and by this it send the mail with new mail address:

Code:
mail -r 'NewDispatcher' -s"Overview result" $TO $CC < mail_tmp.$$

sends a mail with

Code:
NewDispatcher@somedomain.com

But how can I show an alias for that new dispatcher? Do I need to change a file containing the aliases?

Alias? Do you mean the comment portion of the email address?

Maybe this is what you want. I just tried it and it worked.

Code:
echo Test | mail -r "Ken Jackson <ken@host1.com>" -s Test ken@host2.com
