I stand corrected. I have tried sending to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and the
address is not rewritten.
BUT here is a cut from the QMAIL FAQ regarding host masquerading.
Am I not doing what the FAQ suggests? I (think I) know what I am doing but
may be using incorrect terminology.
Sendmail does what I am asking with the same kind of setup I want with
Qmail. ie send from Eudora as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is "re-written" to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" when sent.
I did think that Qmail would change the host name on sending externally but
this does not happen.
Many thanks for the reply.

1. Controlling the appearance of outgoing messages
1.1. How do I set up host masquerading? All the users on this host,
zippy.af.mil, are users on af.mil. When joe sends a message to fred, the
message should say ``From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'' and ``To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'', without
``zippy'' anywhere.
Answer: echo af.mil /var/qmail/control/defaulthost; chmod 644
/var/qmail/control/defaulthost.
