changing the sender name of an email

[simonmay]

Is there someone who knows how to do it:

I use a daemon that sends email, and i would like to change the name of the sender: actually the name that appears is the name of the server (normal it's the server that sends the mail.....)


Answers ?

thank you in advance

Sounds like hacker stuff to me. go to a hacker site, they do this all the time.

I'm just assuming you're using Winsock to do this.
Immediately after sending the DATA command to the server, send this header:

To: John Doe <[email protected]>

[simonmay]

wossname please stay polite

[simonmay]

Yonatan: it's not the to: that i want to change, it's the from:

but the easiest way to do this may be to change the server's name

[Yonatan]

In that case, use the From header!

From: John Doe <[email protected]>

I'm not using winsock i'm using mapisession........any idea ?

[Yonatan]

Yes: Switch to Winsock.
I haven't used MAPISession in a loooooong time because Winsock rules. I think you can't do it there.
