If you aren't relying on "mail" to set up attachments in the body of the mail message, this might be a time where using sendmail to inject the message is better than using a normal user agent. You can set up the whole message including headers and pipe it to sendmail. Use the -f option to set the envelope sender address for bounces and -i to ignore singleton dots.
