Reverse rewrite rules??

Hi all

Just a quick question on rewrite rules. Are they designed to work in reverse?
That is, am I able to rewrite outgoing addresses so the recipients get a
globally acceptable From: address?

The situation is this: I have defined a rewrite rule to establish a PSI
gateway so that addresses of the format J.Bloggs@12345678.psigate... are
translated to psi%12345678::J.Bloggs. This works wonderfully well except the
recipients see 'psi%12345678::J.Bloggs'@psigate... which some mailers don't
like. The idea is to translate the From address back to 
J.Bloggs@12345678.psigate... which is generally acceptable so people can do
replies.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
