Xymon just uses the values from the MAILC and MAIL environment variables 
configured in hobbitserver.cfg, and sends these commands the data.

You can adjust these values in hobbitserver.cfg according to your mail client. 
E.g., on some distributions, 'mail' or 'mailx' are provided by 'nail', which 
allows you to either provide the from address with the -r option, or by 
specifying a 'from' environment variable.
