[David Wilson]

Hi guys,

Sorry to keep bugging you with this, but I'm really desperate to get this
fixed.
Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for getting back to me, sheeez that's interesting I wonder where it
is finding it then ?
I'm running Sendmail 8.11.6 & POP3 with qpopper 4.0.3.

Any ideas ?

Many thanks.

IMP never reads /etc/passwd.  It must be your mail server or some
other service that's adding the "From-Admin" name.
