UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have some scripts that send out email alerts using mailx. the email looks like it is coming from the unix ID and server that is sending the email. I am wondering if there is a way through mailx to have the mail still look like it is coming from the unix id and server sending the message, however if the email is replied to have the reply go to a different email. I tried using the -r switch with in mailx for example
mailx -s"subject" -r email@address.com some@address.com
but that showed the email as comming from email@address.com and that is not what I want. I have looked a man pages for mailx and don't see anything, so I am not sure this can even be done. anyone have any advice for me. thanks in advance.

something like this below?

Code:

De:    production [prod@ant.cet*.ch]
A:      vbe,...
Cc:
Objet:  gesco copied today to 200902...
total 492
-rw-rw-r--   1 prod       gesco        22113 Feb  2 06:30 hp_adr
-rw-rw-r--   1 prod       gesco        75034 Feb  2 06:30 hp_dossier
-rw-rw-r--   1 prod       gesco        29970 Feb  2 06:30 hp_parcell
-rw-rw-r--   1 prod       gesco          216 Feb  2 06:30 stat.log

ant is my favorite HP box ( for my tests although production server...)
What you see here is what I get in outlook...

I think I get where you are going with this, however how would I get the De: in the command?

As I said, it is how I see the mail in outlook... (french...)
This is what is in the script run by cron:

Code:

ll $GESCOPJ/$NEWDIR | \ux2dos |\mailx -s \
" gesco copied today to $NEWDIR..." \
vbe@.....

for this, I had to configure /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

Code:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
#DS
DSsmtp.et.....ch

You follow DS with the name of your exchange server
