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.
xxcd:~>

Can somebody help me out here.

Cheers!!!!

MACLABEL(7)					       BSD Miscellaneous Information Manual					       MACLABEL(7)

NAME

     maclabel -- Mandatory Access Control label format

DESCRIPTION

     If Mandatory Access Control, or MAC, is enabled in the kernel, then in addition to the traditional credentials, each subject (typically a
     user or a socket) and object (file system object, socket, etc.) is given a MAC label.  The MAC label specifies the necessary subject-specific
     or object-specific information necessary for a MAC security policy to enforce access control on the subject/object.

     The format for a MAC label is defined as follows:

	   policy1/qualifier1,policy2/qualifier2,...

     A MAC label consists of a policy name, followed by a forward slash, followed by the subject or object's qualifier, optionally followed by a
     comma and one or more additional policy labels.  For example:

	   biba/low(low-low)
	   biba/high(low-high),mls/equal(equal-equal),partition/0
