At this moment, on account creation, Directadmin is sending mails to customers including the linux accountname.
Like:
From: user1 <service@mycompany.com>
so the correct from email address is used, but in mail clients like Outlook, the linux accountname (in this case user1) is visible, which gives a strange impression to the user.
I've talked about this here:
https://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=58168
and this is an example on how messages on account creation are being send:
Looks to me, it would be more professional (and less confusing to users) when the linux accountname is not used but only the email address.
This is only happening when creating an account manually.
When creating via API, my company name is used. When Softaculous for example is used, my company name is used too instead of the linux accountname. This can be set up.
It would be nice if in Directadmin too a name to be used could be configured, for admins as well as for resellers.
