[KLUG Members] mailx command

[Jay Patel]

Thanks Bruce. Well, I am trying to write a perl script
which calls the "mail" command in red hat linux 7.3
but "mail" doesnt allow me to change the from address
of the mail... mailx allows me to change the from
address by typing the following message

   mailx -s subject -r from@wmich.edu
jaypatel@wmich.edu < actualMailfile

   but the mail command doesnt allow to change the
from address and doesnt have -r option. Can you
suggest me if there is some other way of doing it.

 Thanks in advance.
 
     - Jay.
