Hallo All,

My apologies for double posting this question.

Does anybody know how to change the "From " address for one user only. I am using Sendmail. What I would like is for one specific user having

something@compantA.com

and the rest

something_different@companyB.com

Is this at all possible? I am aware I can use the Masquerade As function in sendmail.mc, but this will affect all users. How do I change it for one user only?
 
You can try 'sendmail -f your_address@some.server recipient' from command line. I don't know how to create server-wide configuration for this, sorry.
 
BIS,
As long as your sendmail is set up for the domain (i.e. companyb.com is entered in your /etc/mail/local-host-names) and your dns will resolve companyb.com, then this can be set in the mail client that the user is using. Just set the e-mail address and reply-to address to user@companyb.com and your all set.
