Check out the LG article at:
http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue43/stumpel.html
It has a section on rewriting the From address. Here's the meat:
Create this script ("outfilt") and put it in /usr/local/bin:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$address = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
while (<>) {
if (/^From: /) { s/<.*>/<$address>/; print; last; }
print; }
while (<>) { print; }
and add this to the end of the TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION section of
the exim.conf file:
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
headers_remove = "sender"
transport_filter = "/usr/local/bin/outfilt"
end
