To define a sender name in mail command
Hi,
I am using the unix script to send a report on daily basis using the mail command. Here the sender name is appearing as myname i.e. chandru (
userid@machine.unix.domain.com).
Is there any way to change sender name as a user defined name? example i need to change it to SupportTeam (
userid@machine.unix.domain.com) instead of chandru (
userid@machine.unix.domain.com).
Could you please help me whether this is possible in Unix mail command?
Many Thanks in advance.

qmail-local
qmail-local(8) System Manager's Manual qmail-local(8)
NAME
qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message
SYNOPSIS
qmail-local [ -nN ] user homedir local dash ext domain sender defaultdelivery
DESCRIPTION
qmail-local reads a mail message and delivers it to user by the procedure described in dot-qmail(5).
The message's envelope recipient is local@domain. qmail-local records local@domain in a new Delivered-To header field. If exactly the
same Delivered-To: local@domain already appears in the header, qmail-local bounces the message, to prevent mail forwarding loops.
The message's envelope sender is sender. qmail-local records sender in a new Return-Path header field.
homedir is the user's home directory. It must be an absolute directory name.
dash and ext identify the .qmaildashext file used by qmail-local; see dot-qmail(5). Normally dash is either empty or a lone hyphen. If it
is empty, qmail-local treats a nonexistent .qmailext the same way as an empty .qmailext: namely, following the delivery instructions in
defaultdelivery.
The standard input for qmail-local must be a seekable file, so that qmail-local can read it more than once.
OPTIONS
-n Instead of reading and delivering the message, print a description of the delivery instructions.
-N (Default.) Read and deliver the message.
EXIT CODES
0 if the delivery is completely successful; nonzero if any delivery instruction failed. Exit code 111 indicates temporary failure.
