I don't understand how this works. My laptop is called "conway" and
mails sent by mail have "fxn@conway" as remitent. The only way I know
to tell mail to use "fxn@retemail.es" is to use the sendmail flags at
the end like this:

    $ echo 'body' | mail -s 'subject' recipient@domain.com -f 'fxn@retemail.es'

The man page suggests that is a flag for sendmail, so is there a
more proper way to configure mail to use that address? What about
the full name?
