We don't have it yet.  We will at one point.

You may pass sendmail options to mail(1), eg.:

  echo test | mail root -f f...@foo.com -F "Fred"

Not sure how useful that is in your case.

Rewriting Addresses in SMTPD

[Aaron W. Hsu]

Hello again,

Is there a way in smtpd(8) yet, to do something like genericstables in 
sendmail? Right now, when my client sendmail sends out a mail, it 
rewrites the envelope and the From addresses to be valid email addresses 
with the domain that I want tacked on to the username. I couldn't 
find a way to do this in smtpd.conf(5), which seems to have aliases 
and virtual domain maps for receiving mail, but not sending it.

If this is better done before the mail is sent to smtpd(8), is there 
a way to do this with mail(1)?

Thanks!
