This is the same setup I'm using (an ISP which issues dynamic IP
addresses and using it as a smarthost).
What I get a problem is that some mail programs put my local machine's
hostname (golgotha) into the message header thus making the message appear
from/reply to "redwards@golgotha". Of course, since that isn't in
anyone's DNS any messages replied to will bounce.
Would you or anyone know how I could implement a rule so that smail (or
whatever program handles this sort of thing) would rewrite any outgoing
messages to correct the "redwards@golgotha" to become
"redwards@together.net" (together.net is of course my ISP)?
