How can I send email from the command line and specify the sender address on a box with Debian 7.8 and Exim4?



This does not work:

Neither does this:

Exim unlike "sendmail by endmail.org" makes -f option available by default only to selected local users. Exim Doc - Trusted Users



You can change Exim configuration to:




  • make the OS user trusted (trusted_user) or make selected OS group trusted (trusted_groups) [but read about other things it allows]

  • allow all users to use -f (untrusted_set_sender)
