Has anyone figured out a way to get mailx in RHEL6 to use the effective uid instead of the real uid (other than modifying the scripts that are being run via sudo to include the "-r root" parameter on the mailx command)?
In previous versions of RHEL (RHEL 5.6 for example), using sudo to run a script (as root) which internally sends mail would properly mark the mail as coming from root, in RHEL6, the mail is being sent as coming from the account which ran sudo instead of from root. I haven't found any settings in /etc/mail.rc that are making this change, so I assume it is either something new in mailx, sudo, bash, or the kernel in RHEL6.
