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? -- fxn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
