Notification with different "From" address

[Tedman Eng]

You can also hard-code the from: field in your sendmail config so that all
mail looks like it comes "From" your chosen address.  I'm no sendmail expert
(not even a novice), but I played around with all the convoluted raw
sendmail rewrite rules until I found something that did the trick.  This may
not be the most proper way, but it works for me.


I changed the nagios user's full name (in /etc/passwd) to whatever I want
displayed in "From:"

Then use the following to change the originating (and thus reply-to) email
address:

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
#
#  envelope sender rewriting
#
SEnvFromSMTP=11
R$+                     $: $>PseudoToReal $1            sender/recipient
common
R$* :; <@>              $@                              list:; special case
R$*                     $: $>MasqSMTP $1                qualify unqual'ed
names
#
R$+@$*                  yourname at yourcompany.com
#
R$+                     $: $>MasqEnv $1                 do masquerading
#R$+ < @ $=w . >                $: $>Canonify2 $1 < @ ${ms} >   change to
mail s
erver

This can also be accomplished with the sendmail program, so any script 
language should be able to do it without having to install more 
perl-stuff than necessary.
