A shell script using mail
Hello, I have created a shell script that creates new users once the userid is created. And after it is complete I use mail to send the e-mail to the client that there account is setup. However the e-mail is from: Super-User [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have read through the man file for mail and cannot find a way to edit this address. Is there an option to edit the from address using mail, I would like to change it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] code snip --- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s new_account -c [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Thank You, Trent [EMAIL PROTECTED] If the future didn't exist, somebody would have invented it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Usually on Debian boxes, sendmail is really exim (/usr/sbin/exim). By using sendmail you'll need to pipe in the Subject: line.
