The -r option is not portable. Maybe on purpose because it's ideal for a spammer.
The default is the user who sends the mail, and the administrator put some rules to generate a sender address out of it. (And that's not safe against a professional spammer either.)
I like the old Unix mail or sendmail tools that do not even know a -s option, and you have to construct the mail header in SMTP style:
NB an empty line indicates the end of the header section.
You can still try that with your advanced mail and mailx programs...
