Can I set the sender using mailx?

[Tonya Underwood]

I would like to be able to do the following style of mail in a script:

mailx -s subject user@domain.com < file

However, because of security purposes within my environment, I need to be able to set the sender to drdrill.im@domain.com

Is there a way to do this with mailx?

[RAC_1 · Accepted solution]

man mailx

You need to add otion -r

Ok... that did work.

How would you do the exact same thing with sendmail?

Tonya -- I had these questions for mailx and sendmail a couple of months ago.

Here's a link to that thread:

Weird thing is... mailx is appending .crypt to the end of my filename. Can I keep it from doing this?

Tonya-
Please share the syntax you are using.
