How to give from address in mutt command while sending mail in unix?

11 New Member
Hi,

Can anyone please guide me?

I am trying to send mail using mutt command along with an attachment. Earlier i tried with uuencode, elm, sendEmail, mailx commands. But my server doesnot support these commands. Thats why I tried using mutt command. I am able to receive the mail notification.Now the problem is, in the from address i am getting the server account name.I have tried with -f command. But it is not getting reflected.

What should I do to get name which I define in the from address?

Please answer me as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Flora Vinarashi.

I never used mutt, But I did little googling and found out this link:

http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Header

I believe there must be configuration file named 'muttrc'.
You will have to set 'from' address in it.

See, if that helps you !
