If you have a one-to-one relationship between the accounts on the bigco mail server and the smallco mail server, then you can just configure your outgoing mail server to rewrite the domains in all headers. In Postfix, this is a simple matter of using generic(5) or canonical(5). If you do not have a one-to-one relationship, then you can create a table of aliases on the incoming mail server to map from one to the other. That fixes things for everyone, in one go, and is something we've used quite a bit as we move accounts from one mail server to another, while still keeping a single e-mail namespace. As for the actual settings in the mail client, just send everyone an e-mail with instructions for changing their own Personal Information settings. :) ---- Freddie Cash, LPIC-2 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
