Specify the from user when sending email using the mail command

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" recipent_address@example.com -- -f from_user@example.com
