I don't know about the mail command, but mutt (which is functionally
very similar for this purpose) has an environment variable that you cat
set to specify the From: address -- according to the man page it's EMAIL
and I use it for scripts like yours.
The other technique I used from time to time is simply to talk to port
25 and construct the entire conversation and then I have complete
control over who the message is from, well, to within whatever sanitary
checks the listener on that port makes :-)
