DOCUMENT ID: 1511-02 SYNOPSIS: Sender determination in mailtool OS RELEASE: Solaris 2.x PRODUCT: KEYWORDS: ownership mailtool sender DESCRIPTION: There are times when it would be convenient to change the sender "from:" when using mailtool. The mail command has a "-f" option allowing this feature however mailtool is much easier to use. The question now arises "how is the sender in mailtool determined ?". SOLUTION: Two choices come to mind. The first is the environmental variable LOGNAME (incorrect choice), and the second is the user id (uid) of the mailtool process (correct choice).
