hello. my scripts use mailx to send e-mail notices all over the place,
and most of the time it needs to specify a different source address
(From). we use mailx to do this with : mailx -s 'subject here' -r
'return email address here' 'destination address' < 'filename of message
body'.
problem is, sendmail insists on changing the sender address to the
username of the user who called mailx.

the mail message gets sent properly, but with the From address rewritten
to the address of the calling user, which i dont want. in the case of
the logs, the "From" address i specified on the mailx command line is
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". when it was delivered, it was changed to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". any helps/hints are greaty appreciated. thanks.
