Which, as others have pointed out is _trivial_ to do. Unless your mail server has implemented extra rules defining/verifying/controlling email address (ie lots of sites will not send mail with tweaked headers that are not valid user email addresses), you can hack them to your hearts content. As long as they are syntactically valid the mailer will happily send them. The only issue is how easy is it to do so inside of Evolution. For the different address for different lists problem the easy to implement but annoying to use approach is to define a bunch of addresses and manually change the from line, the harder to implement but easy to use way would be to write a header tweaker. I would configure it to send my mail through a Perl filter that tweaks based on destination for the mailing list problem (but I tend to see Perl as my hammer for most problems... :-) cheers, brad -- Brad Warkentin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
