The from address in your mail client not necessarily equal to the envelope_from
header

KMail doesnt seem to be doing masquerading / setting the envelope sender (it
never has I believe - I've never used kmail that often)

Dude - fix the permissions of /home/deepa (or the .forward file) - one or the
other is group writeable - A Bad Thing (tm)

Move all your people to using the same domain (get three addresses at india.com
or whatever - or set up a free domain fowkar.com at namezero / pay a little for
it). Then in sendmail, use masquerading (and feature(`MASQUERADE_ENVELOPE') to
masquerade as fowkar.com
Mail from deepa gets qualified to mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Alternatively, use a client that does set the envelope header (netscape, for
example)
