I'm struggling with an odd issue and I'm hoping someone can help. I have
an old appliance that sends out email notifications via my mail relay
running Postfix. The problem is that it is issuing "MAIL FROM: <>", but
only part of the time (sometimes there's an email address there,
sometimes there isn't). Oddly, they always have a "From" address in the
envelope. I'm trying to match the emails that essentially lack an
address and rewrite the "MAIL FROM" with a viable default (which would
line up with what is in the envelope). And yes, I've tried working with
the vendor for months, but I've given up.

The problem is that when these emails eventually hit Gmail, they're
rejected -- and for good reason. I tried setting up a
sender_canonical_map on my aforementioned server but couldn't get it to
work. I then switched from a hash table to pcre and still can't get it
to work.

What is the most practical way to "fix" these emails so that when
Postfix sends them out, they have a viable "MAIL FROM" address?

Thanks,

Jason
