incoming seems then to be okay.
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.
I'ts not a trivial way ;)
