actually, the problem was we got used to mailx which allowed -r and -s
for return address and subject respectively. sendmail doesnt get the
subject from the command line and mailx submits to sendmail's address
rewriting scheme. the term "work around" would mean in this situation to
getting the desired effect without actually changing sendmail's behavior
of ignoring mailx's "From" settings. ideal solution would still be
removing that rewriting from sendmail. i cant find anything on m4 for
that...and sendmail's cf is still daunting to read. and i couldnt just
migrate the whole thing to postfix.
