and one more,
i have tested the same with the below code:

Code:
prompt>echo "test" | mail -r "\"someothermailid"\" -s "sample" arunprasad.thangaraj@domain.com
prompt>

The below is the sender information:
Quote:
123/C//Company/someothermailid/USR <someothermailid@domain.com>
Note: i received mail successfully with different sender name. what i logged in as "myownid". Now i can able to change the sender mail id.

I am using Lotus Notes and the above mail will display as "123/C//Company/someothermailid/USR " and date and subject in my inbox. When i open only i can see the mail address of the sender. This postmaster note is not changing.

My another requirement is, to send a mail which receives like: "someothermailid <someothermailid@domain.com>" not like "123/C//Company/someothermailid/USR <someothermailid@domain.com>".

can you please help me out, how i can achieve this?
