Re: exim: how to modify the "Sender:" header

[Osamu Aoki <debian@aokiconsulting.com>]

Oh, well you need one more config change at the end of /etc/exim.conf

*@yourlocaldomain.com ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
   {$value}fail} bcfrF

Last option tells which address to rewrite.  See manual for details.

wrotell envelope fields
  F       rewrite the envelope From field
  T       rewrite the envelope To field
  b       rewrite the Bcc: header
  c       rewrite the Cc: header
  f       rewrite the From: header
  h       rewrite all headers
  r       rewrite the Reply-To: header
  s       rewrite the Sender: header
  t       rewrite the To: header
