Have you tried
sendmail -f <email> where email is a valid non root e-mail address on your network?
such as
sendmail -f $SENDER_EMAIL -t $RECIPIENT_LIST

Many of the notifications are generated by notify scripts that live somewhere
under /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/.  The originals are in the "goodies/" subdir,
and are intended to be customized as needed.  On Solaris, you would need to
add "-r foo AT bar DOT com" to the "mailx" command used to generate the message,
e.g. in mail_bp_reports.

That's a sendmail question, but you may be in need of enabling some form
of sender masquerading.  On Solaris, look in /usr/lib/mail/README for some
flags you can set in /usr/lib/mail/cf/sendmail.mc and then regen sendmail.cf
based on those settings.

Regards,

Marion
