I built a Perl script for a survey form to email information. The script sits on a Solaris 7 server and I need to put in an anonymous email "From" address if the user doesnt enter an address. Currently I have a name called mysevername@myhostname.com in as the anonymous email name. I need to find out what the server email default name is and then put that in my script as the anonymous email name?

Here is the part that I need to add the name into: 
$defaultemailname = 'myservername@myhostname.com'  #Should I just use 
+any generic name or how can I find out the server default email addre
+ss??
