No, but he can configure his MTA to use an addrress in sympatico.ca on the
"MAIL FROM:" SMTP command.  This is the domain the lookups are done on, not
the one in the header.  With smail this is done by setting "visible_name"
in /etc/smail/config.  I don't use exim, but I'm sure it can be done there
as well.
