I am a postfix user and not an exim user but I believe exim can easily be configured to masquerade users and to automatically translate this name on the fly. Ask the question as to how to make exim do this and the many helpful exim users on the list will volunteer the answer. > The From: (with the colon) is the only thing most people see, so I > wouldn't be too worried about it.

Alternatively you can set the Reply-To: field to tell mailers that the address you want for personal replies is different that what the system has deduced for you. This would work if you could not get the from with a colon "From: " to be what you wanted. Personally I would ignore the envelope sender and not worry that it is something different. The system is working correctly. Only broken mailers will reply to that address. If it really bothers you then search out the exim translation solution. Bob
