Sender name swap of the message system

[RackIT]

DA provides a server with a nice server message system,

but every mail he sends is with the name "message system"
Of you got 1 mailbox for recieving the emails from servers it not clear wich server mails. To view wich server mailed you have to view the email (open).

How is het possible to change the senders name from message system to "othername"

Will somebody move this topic to Features Request?
My vote for this feature.

My recollection is that the message system uses either the root or reseller name and return address as set up when you set up the admin account or the reseller account.

Is this not the case?

Emails come from name «Message System» with subject «New Message: Your backups are now ready» from all servers. The only difference is an email address from which it comes.

It would be nice to have subject formated in the following way:

«[hostname] New Message: Your backups are now ready»

+++

Emails come from resellers` name, except a reseller with a name «admin».

Hello,

The feature has existed since DA 1.22.5:
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=568

Add the value:
msg_sys=Bob's Hosting

into your directadmin.conf and restart DA to change the value.

Hello John,

Is it possible to use

msg_sys=`hostname`

in order to get hostname dynamically?

Unfortunately not, it's just an old fashioned string.
