Hi all,

A week or two ago, I posted a message asking if it was possible
to rewrite outgoing mail.  The problem is that I belong to
two organisations, with exclusive sets of recipients for each
organisation.  I would like to ensure that an outgoing message
always has the correct from address, based on which set the
recipient belongs to.

In other words

        If I mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                - the message should be from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

        If I mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

                - the message should be from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Note that this should work for replies to - if fred mails me, and
I reply, it must correctly drop in my 'fruitconsultants' ID.

I am quite happy to maintain a mapping of recipient domains and
the corresponding from addresses in an ascii file..

My last message generated a couple of replies, both stating a) that
this is an MUA problem  b) I should look at Mutt and c) why on earth
am I using Outlook...

Well:

a.  I don't believe it's an MUA problem, because the mapping as described
applies to my assistant as much as myself, and maybe to other employees. 
Moreover, I want the process automated.  Using a client that relies on my 
remembering to switch identity before accessing messages is far too
error-prone.

b. I can't seem to find Mutt on the PC, and I don't want a character-mode
client thanks.

c. Even if outlook breaks every RFC in the book, it still has a semi-decent
integrated contacts database, which I particularly appreciate.

So - how do I modify the Qmail suite to allow me to examine the To address
of an outgoing message and fixup the reply address??

Any suggestions?


Thanks 

Martin Green
