Different sender address for recoveries vs alerts

I'm currently running Nagios v3.3.1 and have been trying to find a way to set different sender addresses for recoveries and alerts.  I was wondering if there's an option that I overlooked that lets you easily do this.  An example of my notification string for a page is this:

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" \
                                  | /bin/mail \
                                    -s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: Host: $HOSTNAME$ - $HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTEMAIL$ -- \
                                    -f <email_address>

The thought is to change the sender address so that when pages come through in the middle of the night the recovery page can be set to a non-obnoxious tone since that one doesn't need to wake you up.  If anyone has done something like this before please let me know and if there's some documentation on how to do it somewhere that would be great.
