My root user send emails with ssmtp. However I can't change "From: root ..." root name. Is there any way to send email with another name without using another user?
Tried:
echo 'From: "New name" ' | ssmtp to@gmail.com -v

I suggest you switch from ssmtp to msmtp since ssmtp is not actively developed any more. msmtp provides all the same features as ssmtp plus more. In particular, with msmtp you can set the from setting to control who the mail appears to be sent from. | |||
