This sets the full name $x and the mail address <$g>. q is defined to be the format of the sender's address. You don't have to conditionalize the $x since people can only send mail from a client, and in order to send mail they must be logged in and therefore have a full name from the password file. On the server, where not everyone need be in the password file, put this line Dq$?x$x <$g>$|$g$. -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net. Use a domain-based address or give alternate paths, or you may lose out.
