I have installed msmtp , and it seems to be working OK: echo "Hello" | mail -s "Testing SmSMTP" destination@gmail.com The email arrives to destination, But the From field is a **ugly** email text like johnsmithsales@hotmail.com . I mean: johnsmithsales@hotmail.com is **correct**, of course, but I would like the receiver to read some **more professional** John Smith - Sales Department , like it can be done on any other email client. What is the **proper way** to achieve this with MSMTP? **Further notes**: - I am running **Ubuntu** v20.04 . - I have installed the **packages** msmtp msmtp-mta mailutils.
