Wrap your $sender_address bit in an if test, like this:
${if eq{$sender_address}{}{SPECIFIC_ADDRESS}{$sender_address}}
...where SPECIFIC_ADDRESS is a real address in your lookup table. That
way all the OoO replies will authenticate remotely as a single user.
It's a bit long-winded to look at, but effectively it says "if
$sender_address is empty then replace it with SPECIFIC_ADDRESS". And you
need to do it for both the username, and the password lookup.

Thanks Graeme. That has crossed my mind - but then I seem to recall
vaguely that the provider's SMTP servers normally check to see if the
"From:" field matches the email address/username passed during the
authentication session. Wouldn't that cause problems and cause my
provider's SMTP to refuse my emails if they all authenticate as the same
user, but have other email addresses in the "From:" header field? Or am
I remembering wrong?
Just tried it - and it seems my provider's address will accept a message
where the "From:" field is different from the one used as login. This
might be the way to go after all. Thanks for that.
