However - any mails sent (from a particular client software) should all only show "accountspayable" as the sender. If you yust want to appear like comming to your clients with 'From: ' it might be the easiest to define a new identity in your MUA with accountspaya...@mydomain.com for your email address. Else you create accountspaya...@mydomain.com as a normal user but prohibit him to login with imap or pop (like Timo suggested). In this case you can also implement a public mailbox with shared flags.

Maybe the same way http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess explains you could prevent IMAP access?

[Dovecot] Special user
Not sure what to call this - I'm actually working out the details as I type this. I want to have a valid username/password for an account for sending purposes - but when receiving this is an alias that broadcasts to several users. Example: accountspaya...@mydomain.com - is an alias for j...@mydomain.com, j...@mydomain.com, and j...@mydomain.com. However - any mails sent (from a particular client software) should all only show "accountspayable" as the sender. How would I implement this?
