Hmm, it's a hard one. If you have a different e-mail domain,
it's easier. The reason is that there is no distinction between
outgoing e-mail and incoming e-mail.
But you can rewrite root@??? sender addresses in any piece of
mail with a rewrite rule like this:
root@??? jdegreef@??? Ffsr
Or do such rewrites in all headers and all envelope addresses:
root@??? jdegreef@??? Eh
You may try to differentiate between locally generated mail and
incoming mail by using $received_protocol (not tested):
root@??? "${if eq{$received_protocol}{local}{jdegreef@???}fail}" Eh
This is not entirely correct, because some MUAs pass mail to the
MTA via SMTP, and not by piping it to /usr/sbin/sendmail, but
mail(1) (which is used to send mail from cron) does the right
thing.
