Hi !
I'm new to Exim... I managed to set the domain of the sender and the Received: header but I can't figure out how to remove the real name (or to fix it). When I send an email the From: header is set to : Bob Smith <bob@exemple.com> How can I change the exim.conf file so the "Bob Smith" part is removed or replaced by another string ? And without using an external script (if possible) Thanks ! |

There you can set the From Header of outgoing mail. ,---- | # This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail.
