smtp sending mail as "Charlie &"

Question

I'm trying to use ssmtp to send mail from my jails to the mail hub in one of them.

However, the from name isn't properly being renamed. The & isn't being replaced with root so I'm getting mails from Charlie &instead of Charlie Root.

This is my config:

root=mail@xxx.yy

mailhub=10.0.0.3

rewriteDomain=JAILNAME.xxx.yy

#hostname=_HOSTNAME_

FromLineOverride=YES

UseSTARTTLS=YES

Something I'm missing?

Answer 1

Charlie & is the Full Name of the root user.

Use the command:

chpass

to change the root user information, in your case, the full name.
