mailx (from address issue)

[Dirk Moolman]

Hi, I have a problem where we are trying to send mail from our linux
servers, but would like to display in the "From" line, a specific
address.

I use the -r option (man page:  -r address  - Sets the From address)

But what currently happens, is that we receive the mail in the format:


From: <user at domain that mail was sent from on the server> on behalf of
(-r address)


Does this formatting come from the exchange server that we are using as
our relay server ?
