[SOLVED] Specify the from user when sending email using the mail command

Issue

Does anyone know how to change the from user when sending email using the mail command? I have looked through the man page and can not see how to do this.

We are running Redhat Linux 5.


Solution

http://www.mindspill.org/962 seems to have a solution.

Essentially:

echo "This is the main body of the mail" | mail -s "Subject of the Email" [email protected] -- -f [email protected]
