Set default return address for all mails sent from mailx

Hi, I have a question about mailx in Red Hat:

If I use 'mail userid@mydomain.com -- -f root@mydomain.com', the return mail address will be root@mydomain.com.

How can I make all mails sent from this system use root@mydomain.com as return address by default?

Thank you in advance!
