We have and use sendmail from this server to generate messages from
within an application running on this box. The users only ever access
this box through telnet and then go directly in to the application -
they never get to any OS functions at all.

When using a command such as:

"mailx -m -s "TEST" roger.realsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx < some_file"

The Email comes in with a from address of
"<user>@servername.wareforce.com". Since we use Exchange and our SMTP
addresses are formatted as <firstname>.<lastname>@wareforce.com, the
above address does not work well. I know I can use the "-r" option but
I do not have access to the application functions that call the mailx
command and cannot pass in any "-r" option.

Is there any OTHER way to fix the from address at the OS level?

forget mail
use sendmail directly. you will not be able to lie on the envelope info but on the headers you can put what ever you want... which will sufice for you.



TIA
