Did you say you CAN'T get it to work, or you CAN?
Wouldn't the following do the job? You don't need trusted user (in fact,
I have no idea what that means; obviously my knowledge is limited;) for
this to work.
Only setting the From: line in the email header:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t < mail.txt
Set both From: email header and the envelop sender email address (to get
through email list, etc.):
/usr/sbin/sendmail -faccount_creator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -t < mail.txt
Content of mail.txt:
From: Account Creator <account_creator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
To: danieyek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: CLI Mail as another user (Bash script)
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 13:30:00 -0800
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
This is the email body; this email pretends to be sent from Account
Creator.
Note: For unknown reason, if I use account_creator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (notice
dash, instead of dot) as From: address, sendmail would hang for a long
time.

Hi all,
I'm writing a bash script in which I would like to send emails
out.
This would be using the root account, however, I would like for the
email to _appear_ to come from another user. (so that when users reply
to the email, they will get say account_creator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of
root@localhost) which will bounce.
I noticed evolution uses sendmail -f. I can seem to get this to work
(since it needs "trusted users" right?)
Any other method??
