I compose mail in emacs, and have the following in my .emacs:
(setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
Apparently emacs sends the mail to smail with this address and
the "real name" from /etc/passwd, so my mail headers show:
From: Bob Hilliard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It should be possible to make any other MUA put a proper From:
field in the mail they send to smail.
I had difficulty for a long time getting the return_path_field
correct. My mail address is 'hilliard', but my user account on my
machine is bob. For a long time my return_path_field went out as
"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", which isn't a valid address. I now have the
following in my /etc/smail/config:
return_path_field= "Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
This return path shows up regardless of what user name I use on my
machine.
