From: line changing when using procmail in Mlocal

1996-01-11 10:02:20

Greetings -

  I'm working on moving an internal mailhub to solaris 2.5,
  sendmail 8.7.3 and procmail. I've got everything compiled
  and installed, but after replacing the local mailer with
  procmail I'm losing the person's full name on outgoing mail.
  
  For example, the From: line goes from this ->

    From: System Administrator <sysadmin(_at_)efficient(_dot_)com>

  to this ->

    From: sysadmin(_at_)efficient(_dot_)com

  Are there any new changes to /etc/sendmail.cf or the Mlocal
  lines to use procmail with the latest revs of Solaris &
  sendmail?

Best Regards -

Relevant info:

*  Solaris 2.5 - 5.5 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20
*  Sendmail 8.7.3 - 220 efficient.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.7.3/8.7.3;
*  procmail v3.11pre3 1995/05/17 

*  local mailer definitions in /etc/senmdail.cf
 
   #
   # original /etc/sendmail.cf local mailer definition:
   #
   #Mlocal,        P=/bin/mail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@SnE, S=10/30, R=20/40,
   #               T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
   #               A=mail -f $g -d $u
   #
   # new local mailer definition to use procmail
   #
   Mlocal,         P=/usr/procmail/bin/procmail, F=lsSDFMhPfn, S=10/30, R=20/40,
                   T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                   A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u

*  Also note, the original cf file was built from generic-solaris2.mc
