Hi, All:
When we use mailx command to send email to some specific email address, can we configure the "From:" field value? I mean, by default, the recipients will see the From: as root@<host>.<domain>, but can this be configured on our demand? Say, we don't want it to be displayed as "root@<host>.<domain>" at the recipients side, we want it to be displayed as "ROOT,<Host>" or whatever we need.
Can the "'From:" field be configured on demand for sendmail in Solaris? How can we do it??
Thanks!!

 
/usr/lib/sendmail -f "ROOT <whatever@wherever.com>
