Greetings, My users have a script like so (sanitized for everyone's sake): /usr/ucb/mail -s "a subject" \ -r contracts \ -c "list o folks"\ -b "diff list o folks" \ "real recip list" \ < some_file
I just switched the machine from sendmail to postfix. the "-r contracts" "doesn't work". that is, the "from" says contra...@arlut... but the (name) shows the person's name (the person running the script). i don't know what it said for the person's name before, but i guess they don't like it. so i gotta. postfix's sendmail doesn't have a -c (carbon copy) or -b (blind carbon copy) equivalent. -f and -F will fix the "from" fakery, but the carbon copies are a problem. mutt will handle ONE carbon and ONE blind carbon, unless i'm doing it wrong. i can fake the "from" stuff. mutt -F honk -s "t11" -c root,r...@inm,gl r...@harvey < /etc/motd # nope. mutt -F honk -s "t12" -c "root r...@inm gl" r...@harvey < /etc/motd # this one tries to send to rootr...@inmgl # nope. > more honk set from=contra...@arlut.utexas.edu set realname="George Tirebiter" i DO NOT WANT to go back to sendmail. i DO NOT WANT to go back to sendmail. i DO NOT WANT to go back to sendmail. i DO NOT WANT to go back to sendmail. but i gotta do all those carbons, and fake the "from" stuff. anybody got any ideas? or am i doing something stupid? i thought i was reading the right man pages. j.
