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.
mutt ... -c user1 -c user2 -c user3 ...
