procmail problem

Thu, 25 May 2000 08:28:14 -0700

I want procmail to forward a copy of an e-mail that comes from a specific e-mail address. Something like this
 
0: c
 
I've tried it, but I get an error e-mail back that looks like this:
 
The original message was received at Thu, 25 May 2000 07:53:06 -0700
from root@localhost

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mailserver.isp.com.:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=1605
<<< 501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist
501 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Data format error
 
I'm guessing that because my private mail server is trying to forward the piece of mail and using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the sender, my ISP is bouncing it because private.net is a made up name and doesn't really exist.
 
Is there a way to change the name of root (the sender), with a config setting or a procmail rule or a sendmail command line or by running procmail as another user other than su. If anyone has a suggestion, please toss me a clue.
 
Thanks
