mailx- can we change the from address in the email that is sent out.

Hello,

Is there anyway to change the from address in the email sent using mailx command?

I have the following command:
mailx -s $subject xxx@xxxx.com < $mail_mesg

This defaults to the following format "acctname@usserver.companyname.com" as the from address in the email. Problem is this is not a valid one and the recieving server is bouncing the email since it's not a valid address. And we need to change the from address to be a valid one.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thankyou,
Radhika.
