sendmail usage

[vthiru]

Hello Admins,

If I want to send a mail from a different mailid other than the logged in user using mailx, what option I have to use to insert the from mail id.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the '-r

' option to mailx? The man page for mailx has details on it.

# echo "some text for testing" | mailx -r fromid@somedomain.com -s testing destid@somedomain.com


The above will cause the FROM to be fromid@somedomain.com.

Try man mailx.
