    It works! But the sender name is displayed as the account name I am under on Ubuntu, not the name I want to show on the email. Is there a workaround to use the default display name for the sender?

    • Hello Kenny.
      I am not with a computer right now but try to look after a line in the config file there is called mailFrom= and insert the alias here.

      You will proberbly have to remove the # from the line aswell. And then restart the server.
