How to configure postfix to replace the name of the sender to a configured one

email postfix

I have postfix installed on my machine. I also use the generic maps to overwrite the email address from ubuntu to [email protected]:

/etc/postfix/generic
    ubuntu     [email protected]

With this generic mapping the email comes from "Ubuntu" <[email protected]>. But I also want to overwrite the the From Name of the sender to Server1 such that I receive emails from: "Server1" <[email protected]>.

How do I configure this in postfix?


Solution 1:

Usually the MTA uses the configuration that are in the system, so if your username 'ubuntu' does not have any full name setted, then all e-mails from him will came without a name, or perhaps the name that you've setted on 'ubuntu' login is just "Ubuntu" since you said that all e-mails are coming with "Ubuntu" <[email protected]"

To fix that, try use this command as root, and then send e-mail again 

# chfn -f "Server1" ubuntu

Hope it helps ;)
