I have a User on my server that nobody recognized, so I backed up and deleted the account. She later called and it was straightened out (she's an outside collaborator with one of my Users and so had been given an account before my time). This is relevant because then in the comment field in /etc/passwd I used usermod to change it to "Jenny Jones. Collaborates with Sid" so I will know who she is when I periodically review /etc/passwd pruning dead accounts. So after restoring her account, She complained that Squirrelmail was sending out her mails as "Jenny Jones. Collaborates with Sid" <jjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>. Well I knew her password (I'd just reset it) so I realized in Squirrelmail Options -> Personal Information, I could just fill in her real name and that would override this. But what about the rest of my Users? As I was modifying comment fields for my private use, was Squirrelmail picking that up and using it as the Account Name? I experimented with a dummy account and then in THAT account, "Bob Evans. A test User" was NOT picked up by SM and e-mail sent out just went out as "Bob Evans" <bevans@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> . Options -> Personal Information was blank. So now I am confused. A. Under what conditions does SM pick up the comment field and use it? B What I WANT is for SM to NEVER use the /etc/passwd comment field and if the User does not fill in Options -> Personal information themselves, mail will just go out as "" <joeuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> . How do I ensure that? Thanks, Van ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
