1. Do you really mean for specific hosts, or for specific domains?
2. What do you want to do if a message has more than one recipient, and
only some of them are for these specific hosts/domains?

Ah, so you are talking about email domain names.
Note that 9182222222@attfax@??? is a syntactically
invalid address. Do you mean "9182222222@????

Eh? You just said you want to change the *sender* address. Surely that
shouldn't affect where you send the mail?

using the return_path option. Transports can NOT rewrite envelope
recipient addresses.
