Hello,

We want to have for the whole University E-mail addresses in the
form Surname.Name@org.kuleuven.ac.be.  A big part of this setup
works with sendmail+ida and the DNS, the most difficult part is
to get this kind of generic addresses in the From: line for mail
send by VM and MVS users.

I see a few possible solutions :

- bring all the mails from VM and MVS to a special SMTPsend on VM.
  This SMTPsend uses a dummy name-server, so that all the mail goes
  to a UNIX sendmail+IDA, where the From: line is rewritten.

- modify the MUA on VM and MVS so that
  * people can define their From: line
                 or
  * we maintain a list of userid - From: line pairs and this list is
    used to define the From: line

  We use RICE MAIL/MAILB00K on VM and UCLA mail on MVS.

Both solutions are complicated, and are dangerous for loosing mail
if not well organized.

Anyone has done such a thing ?
