Hi

I have a situation where I wish to change the From: header in my mail
messages, depending if I am sending mail locally on my machine, or
whether over the 'net through my ISP.

For example, my hostname is good old darkstar.frop.org. If a user, say
peter, sends a message, the 'From' header is marked with
peter@darkstar.frop.org (or some part of it). What happens is that no
one can reply - I know some may be thinking that is intentional.

I have modified /etc/sendmail.cf to include Reply-To and Organization
lines in messages, but that may not be enough.

So, basically I am after something like:

1) if a user on darkstar sends a message to another darkstar user, the
>From line should read user@darkstar.frop.org

2) if a user on darkstar sends a message to a valid address, the From
line should read kpeter@melbpc.org.au

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am running Slackware 3.
