mail command option for return address

Hello All,

I am migrating/porting Solaris scripts to Linux Platform.
One of script uses mailx command on Solaris and we don't have mailx on
Linux.
Company policy is not to install mailx rpm on production server for
some security reason.
Instead we are using mail command.

Here is the prob:
mailx has -r option for return address. equivalent option for mail
command is not available on linux platform. How to specify return
address using mail command?.

Please let me know if you have any solution for this.

Thanks & Regards,
Prakash
