[comp.mail.sendmail] Is reverse aliasing possible?

bengsig@oracle.nl (Bjorn Engsig) (05/16/89)

In our mail gateway (oracle.nl), we have aliases for (hopefully) all our
emplyees, e.g.:

bengsig: bengsig@nlhp3
somebody: somebody@somemachine

What I would like to do, is to do a reverse alias of bengsig@nlhp3 to bengsig
in my outgoing mail sent from the nlhp3 machine.  That machine puts
'From: bengsig@nlhp3', which currently becomes 'From: bengsig@nlhp3.oracle.nl'
but I want 'From: bengsig@oracle.nl' since the mail originates on the machine
mentioned for my alias in the alias file.

Please do not start a flame (or other kind of) war, that I should not do this,
just tell me if and how this can be done.  Thank you.
