When using "mail" (from the mailx package) to send mail from the command line, can I specify the sending system name?

I want to mail the occasional status message to my personal e-mail account from a server machine. Something like this:

echo "New IP address: $new_ip_address" | \ mail -s "DHCP - $interface addr change" myname@myisp.com

When I attempt to send mail from machine server.mydomain.lan my ISP sees incoming mail from "localhost.mydomain.lan [127.0.0.1]" and bounces it as being blacklisted.

Is there a way to submit an acceptable name to my ISP's mail server from command line e-mail?

Thanks.
