RedHat Adding 'from' email address alias in Linux.

Hi Experts,

We want to add the 'from' email address to mailx command in all our linux script. After searching this site I am able to find the command '-- -f' to add the from the email address. Bu the problem is our from email address is :- "Proper Support Name <support@company.com>"
Now when I am running mailx command I am getting email from 'support@company.com', but I need to have "Proper Support Name" (alias).

Could you please let me know how can we add the email alias ("Proper Support Name" in this case) in the from email address?
Command which I tried so far:-


Code:
mailx  -s  "`hostname` : ${Subj}" ${list} -- -f "From: \"Proper Support Name \" <support@company.com> \n\n" < 1.txt

mailx  -s  "`hostname` : ${Subj}" ${list} -- -f "Proper Support Name<support@company.com>" < 1.txt

mailx  -s  "`hostname` : ${Subj}" ${list} -- -f "Proper Support Name"<support@company.com> < 1.txt
