Thinking laterally; exim has an /etc/email-addresses file, which
contains lines like thus:

jaq: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Exim reads this file, and mangles outgoing mail accordingly, so all my
messages which would have gone out as jaq@willow go out as you would
expect them to.

I'm just wondering if postfix has a similar option, rather than setting
the lot to come from your ISP and having to set up special rules for
system accounts.
