Hi all,

I need the following:

I want to use the script that will send an email using mailx command.

Is there any way to set up from which user it will be sent.
(is there a mailx syntax that can be used fot this?)

Thanks in advance,
Marko

I know there is sth like

mailx -s "test" -r someones@mail.com receimail@mailcom.

But, i still receive it from the user that is currently logged in, eg root.(root@mail.com)

I am running it on UnixWare 7.0

Do you have other suggestions?

Thanx
Marko

If installed, you can take a look at sendmail.

Have you tried this : man sendmail ?
Take a look at the -f and -F options.

Unfortunately, there is no man for sendmail as well as for mailx.

Thank you,
