You could try setting this as an option in your e-mail client program. For example, mutt allows you to specify the From: address in your ~/.muttrc. This works for me: my_hdr From: my.mail.alias@isp.domain.com I'm sure other clients have a similar feature. (This works fine for me, as I am the only person who uses e-mail on the machine. If you have to look after a number of users, it would probably be better to find a more global way of doing it - which I can't help with, I'm afraid :o( Although I understand the Bat Book is rather good!)
