Sender name in the format "MAC [mac@yahoo.com]" in mailx command.

Hi Guys,

I want the sender name in the format of "MAC [mac@yahoo.com]" in the mailx command.

I tried the below command but it is throwing error.

Code:

> mailx -s "Test" -r 'MAC [mac@yahoo.com]' xxx@gmail.com
EOT
[mac@yahoo.com] contains invalid character '['
No such file or directory
. . . message not sent.

Cheers!!!!

mac-vendor

MAC-VENDOR(5)							File Formats Manual						     MAC-VENDOR(5)

NAME

       mac-vendor - Ethernet vendor file for arp-scan

SYNOPSIS

       mac-vendor.txt

DESCRIPTION

       The  mac-vendor.txt  contains Ethernet MAC to vendor string mappings for arp-scan.  It is used in addition to the IEEE OUI and IAB listings
       in ieee-oui.txt and ieee-iab.txt.  It is for MAC-vendor mappings that are not covered by the IEEE manufacturer listings.

       Each line in the mac-vendor.txt file contains a MAC-vendor mapping in the form:

       <MAC-Prefix><TAB><Vendor>

       Where <MAC-Prefix> is the prefix of the MAC address in hex, and <Vendor> is the name of the vendor.  The prefix can be of any  length  from
       two  hex  digits  (one octet) to twelve hex digits (six octets, the entire Ethernet hardware address).  The alphabetic hex characters [A-F]
       must be entered in upper case.

       For example:
       012345	 would match 01:23:45:xx:xx:xx, where xx represents any value;
       0123456	 would match 01:23:45:6x:xx:xx; and
       01234567  would match 01:23:45:67:xx:xx.

       Blank lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

       The order of entries in the file is not important.  arp-scan will attempt to match larger prefixes before trying to match smaller ones, and
       will stop at the first match.

FILES

       /usr/local/share/arp-scan/mac-vendor.txt
