Don't know if I completely follow you but I used to have a linux box on
the net in an old office with the address of terrapin.econ.queensu.ca. I
wanted all my mail to go through our main mail server,
qed.econ.queensu.ca, but I wanted to read and reply on terrapin. To
accomplish this I put a .forward on qed (qed -> terrapin) and then changed
the following line (which was originally empty) in my personal .pinerc:
# Sets domain part of From: and local addresses in outgoing mail.
user-domain=qed.econ.queensu.ca
That worked perfectly. All mail looked like it came from qed. However,
this does not alter the X-Sender. I was going to investigate how I could
change it to qed also, but out of 6 years of running my mail in that
fashion, I only ran across one mailer that sent replies using X-Sender, so
I didn't bother. I noticed that when I set up smail that I had the option
of specifying an outgoing mail address, but changing that to anything
other than terrapin screwed up smail for me (don't recall why).
Anyway, in short, I think changing that one line in .pinerc should do the
trick.
Cheers, Colin.
