Is it possible to specify the FROM and TO fields from the command
line, and if yes, how?
The "to" address was OK, as the transcript shows. -f doesn't do what
you think it does. It's hard to fiddle with the "from" address. If it
was easy, it would be even easier to forge. I suspect it is possible to
fix the domain name (which is what postfix is complaining about) but
I'll leave that for someone who knows postfix to address. Making sure
there is a fully qualified name in /etc/hosts might be a good start.
What's wrong with configuring a text file containing
`From: your@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: How to send email
To: Recipient@xxxxxxxxxxx
This is the message'
And then send that with `sendmail --t < file'
?
