There's a file called /etc/email-addresses each line is in the format <username>:<outgoing addresss> At least under debian runnign exim it's just this: 1. edit this file 2. uncomment the rewrite-rule in the exim.conf With other mta's you should've something simular or another way of rewriting mail-addresses upon sending.
