Basically you are trying to rewrite mail address. Since you are using exim4 and have root access, configuring exim4 to rewrite source address is the way to go. See "man 5 exim4-config_files" and set up /etc/email-addresses file. http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch07.en.html#themailaddressconfiguration Cheers, Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
