Actually, here's the story for me (again): My mail address put into the headers of my outgoing mail are (without rewriting): [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is true in the sense that I have the username daniel on the computer i203... But I fetch my mail from a POP3-server, since my computer isn't turned on 24h a day. So, the mail address that I want people to see is the one I have to my mail account on that server, which is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, I use exim to do a rewrite on the 'from' and 'reply-to' fields of outgoing mail sent by me. The problem is, like I've pointed out before, that local mail isn't affected by this. I don't understand why not!?
