mailx default FROM: address
Solution 1:
On Debian, I have found that using mailx
command from the mailutils
package generates wrong "From" domain address - it calls sendmail with "-f" parameter specifying just the hostname without any domain.
When you install the bsd-mailx
package, it provides its own version of the mail
/ mailx
binary (which should be set automatically as the default alternative). This internally calls "sendmail" without the "-f" parameter and (when mail server is configured properly) uses the correct full hostname + domain.
