Is there something you want to do that adduser can't do for you?

If memory serves me, you can use sendmail -F to set the full name of the sender, but it's been awhile. This can be done with sendmail, though I'm not sure about qmail or postfix. I would imagine you could do it with those as well though. ---> man sendmail -- Robert Hough (rch@solveinteractive.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
