Thanks. After looking into this I verified that using a manual SMTP sending this does not happen and the conclusion is therefore that the simple "mail" command will create this from address based on the passwd file. That surprised me since I thought that the "mail" command didn't do any elaborate rewrite of the user name.
Good, now I feel 100% confident I fully understand every single detail in my mail setup. /J On Thu, 7 Jul 2011 16:23:54 +0200, Wietse Venema wrote: > Johan Persson: > >> So I get the translation something along the lines of "u...@localhost.nil [1]" => "first lastname " > > This is not the default Postfix format.
