Well, my box's FQDN is omnic.rumpus.net and my email address is
mickyb@???. I use this rule to rewrite mail:
*@omnic.rumpus.net ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrsF
which looks up in this file:
--
root root@???
omnic mickyb@???
.... (any other users)
--
that works fine, but mail from "omnic@???" to
"[user]@omnic.rumpus.net" gets the from header of:
--From: Michael Beattie <mickyb@???>
I would like this to be:
--From: Michael Beattie <omnic@???>
To satisfy replying etc...
In this way, any "local" mail (omnic.rumpus.net --> omnic.rumpus.net) I
would like to keep its "@omnic.rumpus.net" and any remote mail
(omnic.rumpus.net --> [REST OF WORLD]) I would like to be rewritten as per
orders in my /etc/email-addresses file.
I suppose I should mention, omnic.rumpus.net is not registered in the DNS.
