Hi all,

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server providing Postfix 3.1 and have a
setup in which Postfix generates the following "From"-header for
mails:

> From: supp...@example.org (root host.example.net)

The same config on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server with Postfix 3.3 generates
the following header instead:

>  From: "root (host.example.net)" <supp...@example.org>

The first header leads to mail clients showing supp...@example.org
only for mails coming from various different hosts, which makes
recognizing individual hosts unnecessary difficult. The second header
instead makes the host visible in mail clients.

The different behaviour comes from Postfix 3.3 newly implementing
"header_from_format" with the format I prefer generated by default.
Older versions of Postfix don't implement that functionality and I
can't find any other setting allowing me to change how "From" gets
rendered like I need it. While there are things like
"append_at_myorigin", this doesn't seem to be what I need, which is
most likely switching the order of things within the header.

So, is there some way to get "header_from_format = standard" of
Postfix 3.3 in Postfix 3.1?

Thanks!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
