Actually, here's the story for me (again):
My mail address put into the headers of my outgoing mail are (without
rewriting): daniel@i203.ryd.student.liu.se
This is true in the sense that I have the username daniel on the
computer i203... But I fetch my mail from a POP3-server, since my
computer isn't turned on 24h a day. So, the mail address that I want
people to see is the one I have to my mail account on that server,
which is: danel698@student.liu.se
So, I use exim to do a rewrite on the 'from' and 'reply-to' fields of
outgoing mail sent by me. The problem is, like I've pointed out
before, that local mail isn't affected by this. I don't understand why
not!?
