When you are sending client e-mail through TMDA via tmda-sendmail or
tmda-ofmipd, the existing fullname info from the "From:" header as
generated by the MUA is retained.  

When TMDA is responding to incoming mail via tmda-filter, it attempts
to calculate a value for the fullname portion of "From:" if the
FULLNAME variable is not set in /etc/tmdarc or ~/.tmda/config.  First
it looks for environment variables like 'NAME' and 'MAILNAME', and
then tries to extract a fullname from /etc/passwd.  Failing that, it
defaults to "Jane Doe".  If you just want the "From:" header to
contain the e-mail address only, without "Jane Doe", you could add the
following to your /etc/tmdarc:

FULLNAME = ""

Hmm, I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to use "" instead of "Jane
Doe" as the default in TMDA when no real fullname can be determined.
Just the e-mail address (no fullname) is probably better than a bogus
fullname in environments where /etc/passwd isn't relevant.
