[Mimedefang] Sendmail Question

[Chad Stalvey]

Well, what I did was an    awk -F":" '{print $1,}' > dialup

then edited the necessary first few users out,

then made a temp alias that was dialup.customers::include:/etc/mail/dialup
and sent an email to that alias from my outlook client.

True, it was sent from me, but it was one of the users who saw the
"Friendly" name.

I don't think the passwd file was viewed in any way, it's just I would like
to know the instances that this happens.

Hi Chad,
	I imagine that the From: in your mass email included the "Friendly"
name from your user account: Chad Stallvey.  They never saw the passwd
file, just what was put in your email by what I believe was your Mail User
Agent (MUA).

Cheers,

Stefano
