The answer with Exim is almost always "yes", however it's not necessarily the easiest or best place to do it! In this case, many sensible mail clients will allow you to configure sending 'profiles' (or similar terminology), which either automatically (based on matched patterns in the message to which you are replying) or manually (based on you selecting from a list of profiles) set an appropriate From: header. In Pine there are the Role Rules, and at least Thunderbird will let you set up identities attached to accounts, from which you can chose when composing a message to set the appropriate From: address (and maybe select other folders for filing sent messages). I do not know if Entourage provides a comparable facility. Jethro. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
