I'm running ULTRIX-32 V2.2 on a MicroVAX. I would like to be able to
include the same feature that the VMS mailer has; PERSONAL_NAME.
Looking through the sendmail.cf file I can see how to substitute text
in place of the $x macro which I understand, is supposed to equate to
the full name of the user.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to put something (a command
maybe) in place of the $x that would cause sendmail to look for and include
text in a file in the senders account.
For example; $x is replaced with somthing that causes sendmail to include
the text in ~warren/.personal_name.
Is the above possible to do in the sendmail.cf file? If not, is something
else possible? I don't have any sources and reading the available documentation
is, well.......shall I say tortuous! :-)
