Although this kind of solution will do it, you probably want to look
to sendmail to do this for you instead. It will masquerade both from
headers *and* envelope header, if configured properly:
MASQUERADE_AS(`zvolve.com')
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
(The last statement does what you want.)
The reason you may want to configure sendmail to do "The Right Thing"
instead of Suresh's solution is that Suresh's suggestion will cause an
X-Authentication-Warning header to be included with your message:
$ /usr/lib/sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Warnings in Headers
Look at the headers generated by sendmail
due to the -f option.

X-Authentication-Warning: ifr.inside.zvolve.net: garry set sender to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] using -f
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Warnings in Headers
Look at the headers generated by sendmail
due to the -f option.
Of course, if you cannot configure your site's mail servers and relays
or you cannot masquerade as a specific domain, then you are forced to
use the -f option (set envelope_from).
