when sending mail from commandline with slamson:~$ mail -s
"test" shawn.lamson@verizon.net the mail gets declined b/c my
computer's hostname is not known... I am a trusted mail user on
my machine and can do the following slamson~:$ echo "this is a
test" | /usr/sbin/exim -f "shawn.lamson@verizon.net"
shawn.lamson@verizon.net to fool the ISP that the mail is coming
from it's own domain (or I can use other domains like
xyz@yahoo.com and it still works... I can also carefully compose
the mail according to RFC specs so that it is more normal
looking (subject, Reply-To, and other proper headers)... BUT -
all I want is a simple way to specify a "From" address such that
my ISP will receive my mail from user slamson send from "mail"
Anyone familiar with this - even pointing me to the right
documentation will be fine (please not mailutils
