I am running a php program in a browser which eventually compiles some files and emails them to a person of their choosing. The problem is that the system identifies the browser user as nobody. I send the mail using a line something like; cat textfile | mutt -s"Quote/Attachments" -afile1 -afile2 john@doe.com but the problem is that the recipient sees the sender address as from "nobody@ourhost.com", when I want it seen as "david@ourhost.com". I have the name of the user available in the script but I see no way of running the mail script as that person since any browser viewing the system is "nobody".
