I do the same thing, for the same reason. There are two solutions--one
very specific, the other somewhat tricky.
1. In your shell startup scripts, set the environment variables
QMAILSUSER and QMAILSHOST. See qmail-inject(8) for details.
This is somewhat fragile in that users can turn off those
variables and undo your efforts on their behalf.
2. If you use serialmail for outgoing mail, fiddle with the
envelope sender at that time. Do this by adding a line to
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains which says:
:alias-rewrite
Next, put the following in ~alias/.qmail-rewrite-default, all on
a single line:
|qmail-local alias /var/qmail/alias
alias-outgoing-$EXT "-" outgoing-$EXT
$HOST [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./Outgoing/
Finally, create the maildir ~alias/Outgoing, and touch the empty
file ~alias/.qmail-outgoing-default. When you run serialmail,
the prefix to snip off will be "alias-outgoing-rewrite-".
The latter solution is odd, but it's the simplest way I know of to
fiddle with envelopes, without doing something silly with "preline"
and "sed". Any simpler solution would be appreciated!
