Hi,
Do we have any way to specify the "FROM" field when using the "mail" command.

As long as everything is 1s and 0s, and bits'n'bytes... you can do anything :). If that doesn't make the answer obvious-it's a YES!
But again, many web-mail services don't allow you to do this. For starters, if you use Outlook you can try configuring a new accout with your name as Santa Claus and the e-mail address as santa@northpole.com... just give the login information for your POP3 server right.
Needless to say the procedure depends on which e-mail client you are using.

I think he mentioned that he's using mail - the email client called mail.
Anyway, just changing the address in your mail client won't always help. It also depends on whether your mail server (SMTP) allows you to send with any address. If you're using vsnl, then you can't. Your address *must* be @vsnl.net (but see http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/~philip/writings/Hdr-Env-Masq-miniHOWTO.txt for how to pretend to do that).
