That's not the MAC address, that's the SID of your user account
(administrator, apparently). Did you "clean up" your /etc/passwd
entry? It should contain the above S-xxx string in the pw_gecos
field but prepended by a comma. It's the way mkpasswd generates
that entry. If you erase that comma, mutt treats that string as
your full name. Two solutions:
- Readd the comma to the pw_gecos field. If you want, add your name
admin::500:513:John Doe,S-1-...:/home/admin:/bin/bash
- Add a
set realname="John Doe"
to your .muttrc file.
