If you used /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to deliver, and set QMAILINJECT="f"
it doesn't matter what is in your client, they will be rewritten on
send. Maybe postfix does something similar?

I set my environment depending on what ego I'm using. Typically:

#####################################
####    qmail stuff
export MAILHOST="galis.org"
export MAILUSER="george"
export MAILNAME="George Georgalis"
export MAILBCC="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
export QMAILINJECT="f"
export QMAILMFTFILE=$HOME/.lists
#####################################

Then in my .muttrc, just so I know who I am...

set hdrs # include `my_hdr' lines in outgoing messages
my_hdr From: $MAILNAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
my_hdr Bcc: $MAILBCC

Maybe you can just substitute your name and address in the muttrc?

// George
