Thanks, this is also a solution, but since I have many email addreses, I
would like to be able to post in anyone I wish. Fr ex: for news group
postings I would like to post as <kalum@???> since I don't mind that
addy been caught by spammers, but for personal communications I would like
to use another email address like <kalum@???>...etc the reason why
I use PINES roles feature...
So the solution you suggested would be perfect if I had only one address
like you have for example..unfortunately I would like to able to post
under different email addresses too..

Indeed, Since I am impressed by exims configurability ,I am actually very
much surprised why anyone can't post using a different email addy...That
means that if exim is running on a machine called mail.com then all the
users will have to post as <user@???> , ie if a user wanted to post
using another address like <user@???> he wouldn't be able to do
it. At least that is what I have gathered.
Isn't it strange that exim can't be configured to let this fairly common
occurence happen?? AFAIK other mailer qmail, even that monstrosity
sendmail allow this..
