I've also encountered this, and I'd like to be able to simply mail
stuff from my FreeBSD system:
Q: Is there an easy way to have ALL mail from my system have
a (fixed) fake From and Reply-To field? It seems that a suitable
sendmail.cfg rule should be able to rewrite those fields, but
I haven't found the magic incantation. If the rewrite could be
varied on a per-user basis, that would be a plus, but by no means
necessary.
