Sending as specific email address

[Jason Little]

I ended up using generics in sendmail since I didn't want the whole box
sending out like that just the nagios user.  Thanks for the help.

FYI

If you are using Exim as your MTA like me, you need to set your Nagios user
as a "trusted user" - then as long as you have a "From:" header in your
e-mail, Exim will send the e-mail out as if it came from that address.

If Nagios isn't a trusted user, the e-mail will look to have come from
"nagios@<machine-name>.<domain-name>"

Andy.
