Hi, I am not sure if I am correct but if you just simply want From: m...@foo.bar To: a...@example.com Then simple set envelope_from ="yes" set reverse_name=yes alternates "m...@foo.bar|defa...@email.bar" should be enough. But usually this is not the good way because you surely don't want your realname, signature to be identical to default in general. So I would suggest you to use reply-hook. Notice don't forget to set default reply-hook at first. One thing more about the alternates: you should set your mta to be aware of m...@foo.bar. I have only had experience on msmtp and if m...@foobar is not an independent accout in msmtprc then msmtp will use the default account in msmtp to send the mail out. Peng
