You could inject the mail using postfix's injection program. (The equivalent
of sendmail or qmail-inject.) This allows you to include headers along
with the body of the message.
The other option is to use a more powerful mail client such as mutt to send
the message. Something like:
print "short message" | mutt -e 'set from="This is a test <test>"' -s "your log/pass" test@xxxxxxx
