How to change GECOS name in mail sender address?
Issue
The content of the GEC0S filed gets written into the sender address.
An example:
user@hostname:~$ grep oracle /etc/passwd
oracle:x:1222:200:Oracle Owner:/home/oracle:/bin/bash
oracle@hostname:~$ echo Hello | mail -s test recipient@domain.com
I get the header:
From: Oracle Owner <oracle@hostname>
How to rewrite the realname (in this example "Oracle Owner") from the GEC0S field ?
