How do I change the from: address on the email notifications?

[Greg Vickers]

Hey,

I use exim as my mta - there is a configuration option in exim that lists 
users who are authorised to change the From: field and the nagios users is 
one of those, so my email notification command looks like this:

define command{
    command_name service-notify-by-email
    command_line echo -e "Note: DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL\n\nThe service 
\"$SERVICEDESC$\" on host \"$HOSTALIAS$\" at IP $HOSTADDRESS$ is in a 
$SERVICESTATE$ state.\n\nThe output from the service check: $OUTPUT$" | 
mail -s "$HOSTNAME$ has a service in an $SERVICESTATE$ state" 
$CONTACTEMAIL$ -a "From: xxx at xxx.xxx"
    }

The important part is the -a "From: blah blah blah"

HTH,
Greg
