Change "from" address in Terminal `mail`

When sending mail from shell, e.g.,

echo '123' | mail -s 'subject' [email protected]

The recipient gets an email from "[email protected]", e.g., "[email protected]"

How can I change this to an email address of my choosing?

Solution 1:

Tack an escape to the end of your mail command to pass a header to sendmail.

 -- -f [email protected]

See this answer and others that use the -- terminator to tell the mail program those arguments are for the next program.
