> What is the proper syntax to call sendmail (or mail) with to set the From: address?

- From man sendmail:

       -f sender
              Set  the  envelope  sender  address.  This  is  the
              address where delivery problems are sent to, unless
              the message contains an Errors-To: message  header.               

       -F full_name
              Set the sender full name. This is  used  only  with
              messages that have no From: message header.    

If you want to do it all on the command line, try it like this:               
        sendmail -f"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -F"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" < messagefile

Note that this assumes your message doesn't have a from header already added to
it (seems likely based on the situation you describe.
