There are command-line mailers that are better suited to changing the From: header, otherwise If you really want to use mail(1) then i think your best option is to look at using the mta to re-write the From: addressi as suggested earlier, which is typically sendmail, otherwise the closest thing you can get to it is by using the -r option (i think).
I am in trouble making sendmail actually read /etc/mail/genericstable.db: setting FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/mail/mailnames')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl in mc file and compiling it doesn't help and I can't find out, why so. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
