Here’s a quick tidbit on setting the [default] from address for php [sendmail] on a suse box. There are *two* settings that need to be changed, let’s look at the default “out-of-the-box” email from address.
WWW daemon apache
The wwwrun is the username that is being used to send the email. (See /etc/apache2/uid.conf). To alter this value, we need to masquerade it.
Computer->YaST->Network Services->Mail Transfer Agent
Click Next
Click Masquerading
At the bottom of the screen click “Add”
Select local user `wwwrun`
Enter the desired ‘Display as’ value (i.e. webmaster@yourdomain.com)
OK out of the dialog and YaST.
If you send a mail now, it will have a ‘from’ address of
WWW daemon apache
To alter the full name `WWW daemon apache`, you’ll need to update the wwwrun user itself.
Computer->YaST->Security and Users->User Management
You may need to set the filter options to show ‘system’ users. Select the `wwwrun` user, click Edit and modify the `User’s Full Name` field.
