hi,

i discovered an annoyance in my mail-setup:
whenever i send an authenticated mail via exim to a remote destination,
exim connects to that server, issuing the 'MAIL FROM:'-command with
$authenticated_id

    MAIL FROM:<pilop@???>


since i'm able to change the address i'm sending mail from once i'm
authenticated, i want this happen for the above 'MAIL FROM:', too.

e.g.: i'm authenticated as user pilop@???, but want to send mail as 
marko@???, the issued 'MAIL FROM:' to the remote server should be:
    MAIL FROM:<marko@???>


delivery of that mail still works, but as the "wrong" 'MAIL FROM:' is
used, the Return-path is "wrong", too

i did not found any options to configure such behavior.

cheers
marko
