This does not rewrite the From header or Sender SMTP header on outgoing messages. I don't see any exim users replying (on postfix I'd use sender_cannonical). /etc/exim4/conf.d/rewrite/31_exim4-config_rewriting looks promising, but I can't help further. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [email protected] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [email protected] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
