sending mail using postfix

How can I send an email using telnet and my mail server including my name. For example.

Code:

chris@ubuntu:~$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ubuntu ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
HELO server.com
250 ubuntu
MAIL FROM: Chris F. <username@gmail.com>
555 5.5.4 Unsupported option: F.
MAIL FROM: Chris <username@gmail.com>
555 5.5.4 Unsupported option: <username@gmail.com>
MAIL FROM: Chris username@gmail.com
555 5.5.4 Unsupported option: username@gmail.com
MAIL FROM: "Chris user@gmail.com"    
250 2.1.0 Ok
MAIL FROM: "Chris F. user@gmail.com"
503 5.5.1 Error: nested MAIL command

I want the message to appear from me and my name.

Thanks. I just sent a spoofed email from "failure delivery" to get a girl to quit emailing me. I told her I was changing my email, but I didn't really.

Why not just blacklist her?

I've already reported her as spam, and her emails don't even go to my spam folder.

No, I meant setting up user blacklists in postfix since that's the MTA that you are using. Look at this site:
