how to put from@mail.com address into -elm

[Vlad_11]

Hi,
I'm using the following inside the shell:
elm -s "$SUBJECT" -a $MAILTO < body
(where body includes :
[include file.gz image/zip base64] )

But I need to put predefined $MAILFROM address into this email that should be visible for reciepient, so far could't found any leads.
Is it possible ?
Thanks to all

I have a program that scripts sendmail. I'm attaching it.

mailx is easier to do that with.

It can be done with elm, but I'm lazy.

See attachment.

Sendmail has a -t option which allows the "trusted users" (root is by default trusted) to define the MAIL FROM: in the command line.

# sendmail -v -t from@email.com to@email.com

Oops ! sorry ignore my previous message.

The option is -f and not -t !

# sendmail -v -ffrom@email.com to@email.com

I know sendmail has -f option where you can put from email id. man sendmail for more details.
