The best way I know to do it is with the rewrite rule.. I use exim4 now,
but I think the commands are the same... Here's an excerpt from my old
exim.conf file where The rewrite rule is located..
----------------------------- cut ------------------

# There are no rewriting specifications in this default configuration file.
# This rewriting rule is particularly useful for dialup users who

# It looks up the real address of all local users in a file
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
# {$value}fail} frFs

[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffrs

This should take care of it.. Before I added this rule, my mail
wouldn't pass through the ISP.. I believe this will rewrite the "Sender:
" header..
