I do not get your intention: Do you want to receive emails sent to
<flatkitty@roadkill.org> on your box but have the address rewritten to
<xeys_00@yahoo.com>? Or do you want to send email as if they would
come from <xeys_00@yahoo.com> although your 'real' address is
<flatkitty@roadkill.org>?
In the former case: why? If the email is safely delivered, why
change?
In the latter case: make use of an appropriate MTA like postfix or
so.
However, I might have misunderstood your approach completely.
Therefore my questions:
- roadkill.org : do they deliver email by POP?
- or do they simply forward email?
wbr,
