Suppose there is a user here named Joe Blow. His userid is joe.

I can easily set up an alias so that mail to Joe.Blow@clemson.edu ends
up in joe's mailbox.

But, with vanilla sendmail, I don't see any way to make mail from joe
look as if it came from Joe.Blow.

The only alternatives that I can see are to use some kind of translation
tables, like the ones in IDA or in the sndml.mods in volume 3 of 
comp.sources.unix.

Is anyone doing this? Any hints, warnings or stories?
