This is probably a job of the MTA running on mail.foo.com, which should probably have the option: MASQUERADE_AS(`foo.com') MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`foo.com') If it doesn't already, that is. Handling the masquerading of outgoing email in one central place (the MTA setup of mail.foo.com) is much preferable, since you only have to update ONE place whenever you feel like changing the MASQUERADE_AS option. - Giorgos
