configuring mail
hello all!
one irritating thing is happening in my mails. all mails appear to be
coming from sandip (sandip@escortsmumbai.com)! i will like them to
appear to be coming from Sandip P Deshmukh (deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com)
here are some more pieces of data. sandip is my username on my machine
and deshmukh is my username on the mail server.
here are relevant lines from /etc/exim/exim.conf:
######################################################################
# MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
######################################################################
qualify_domain = escortsmumbai.com
# qualify_recipient =
my /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname specify my local machine as
deshmukh.work (127.0.0.1)
i tried my hand at .muttrc. here are relevant lines:
# User description ########################################################
set realname = "Sandip P Deshmukh"
#set reply_to = ask-yes
#set reverse_name = no
#set reverse_realname = yes
set from = deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com
#set gecos_mask = "^[^,]*"
#set hidden_host = no
#set hostname = ""
#set alternates = ""
what do i need to do to achieve what i want to?
thanx in advance
- sandip
