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.

EOT
[mac@yahoo.com] contains invalid character '['
No such file or directory
. . . message not sent.

mac_none

MAC_NONE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					       MAC_NONE(4)

NAME

     mac_none -- null MAC policy module

SYNOPSIS

     To compile the null policy into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   options MAC
	   options MAC_NONE

     Alternately, to load the none module at boot time, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   options MAC

     and in loader.conf(5):

	   mac_none_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The mac_none policy module implements a none MAC policy that has no effect on access control in the system.  Unlike mac_stub(4), none of the
     MAC entry points are defined.

   Label Format
     No labels are defined for mac_none.

SEE ALSO

     mac(4), mac_biba(4), mac_bsdextended(4), mac_ifoff(4), mac_lomac(4), mac_mls(4), mac_partition(4), mac_portacl(4), mac_seeotheruids(4),
     mac_stub(4), mac_test(4), mac(9)

HISTORY

     The mac_none policy module first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0 and was developed by the TrustedBSD Project.

AUTHORS

     This software was contributed to the FreeBSD Project by Network Associates Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates Inc.
     under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (``CBOSS''), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.

BUGS

     See mac(9) concerning appropriateness for production use.	The TrustedBSD MAC Framework is considered experimental in FreeBSD.

     While the MAC Framework design is intended to support the containment of the root user, not all attack channels are currently protected by
     entry point checks.  As such, MAC Framework policies should not be relied on, in isolation, to protect against a malicious privileged user.
