You can do something like: mail -a 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] The -a option adds an arbitrary mail header, see mail(1) I tested this, it seems to work. alternatively, you could "su" to the appropriate user before running mail. Sam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
