(sorry I'm replying to the wrong message. I accidentally hit <shift-DEL> to many times :) I had a similar problem. (small lan behind aDSL line w/ dynIP) I tried to implement the faq thing but could not get the second daemon running (start-stop-daemon didn't like the second daemon). So I tried to use inetd, got administrative denial errors or something similar. So I used the idea from the virus checker (search the faq for "virus") I use a pipe transport to a simple perl script that uses /etc/email-addresses to rewrite the from line. In the transport I add an 'X-Local: rewritten" header and strip the X-Local headers in the remote_smpt router If you want I can send you/give more info on the setup. The only problem with this setup is that I get an extra Received header from user mail. Is there some way I could get rid of it? Jim
