There are no "dummy" questions, but some research should be attempted
before posting the question :^)   Hint, tfm

Look in the fine manual for "send-hook"

ie:         send-hook @name_of_my_box <user1>@name_of_my_box

A perhaps simpler solution would be to create a second version of your
~/.muttrc, maybe ~/.muttrc.cron, and call it when mailing from cron.  Set
the desired "From" address in .muttrc.cron.

There is *much* very good explanatin in the fine manual :^).
