Try using /usr/sbin/sendmail (or /usr/lib/sendmail) with the "-f" switch.
Usually on Debian boxes, sendmail is really exim (/usr/sbin/exim).

By using sendmail you'll need to pipe in the Subject: line.

(echo "Subject: new account" ; echo ; ) | exim -f support@domain.com newuser@otherdomain.com support@domain.com
