From=20the sendmail man page (I image there is a similar switch for qmail
and postfix):
-fname Sets the name of the ``from'' person (i.e., the
envelope sender of the mail). This address may
also be used in the From: header if that header is
missing during initial submission. The envelope
sender address is used as the recipient for deliv=AD
ery status notifications and may also appear in a
Return-Path: header. -f should only be used by
``trusted'' users (normally root, daemon, and net=AD
work) or if the person you are trying to become is
the same as the person you are. Otherwise, an X-
Authentication-Warning header will be added to the
message.
So, have your script use the -f switch when calling sendmail. This is what
IMP does, for example.
Hope this is useful,
Ralph
