Considering you use mutt, why not just declare unix user someone as a
trusted user, and then use "set envelope_from" in mutt?

Letting untrusted users set the sender (maybe just throwing an authwarning)
is not a very bad thing to do ... especially on an internal host - what
looks like a workstation on someone's desktop.
