>Description:
the man page for mail reports that by some extra arguments to sendmail can be passed from mail:
NAME
mail, Mail, mailx -- send and receive mail
SYNOPSIS
mail [-EiInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] [-F] to-addr ...
[-sendmail-option ...]
mail [-EHiInNv] [-F] -f [name]
mail [-EHiInNv] [-F] [-u user]
mail -e [-f name]
mail [-H]
Apart from the man page being wrong (it should be -- -sendmail-option), the problem is that FreeBSD mail just ignore the latest parameter!
Actually looking at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/mail/main.c?rev=1.15&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup I had the idea that the code to pass stuff to sendmail is totally missing!?!
>How-To-Repeat:
just send a mail like
mail someone@somewhere.it -- -r ovveride@return.path
