from address using maill command

[Colin van Niekerk]

Hi there,

You can use sendmail options when using the mail command by adding a '--' after the normal mail command options and then adding the sendmail options you need, as follows:

echo "body of the mail" | mail -s "subject" destination at address.com -- -f source at address.com -F "Sender's Full Name"

Cheers
Colin
