mutt, exim, sender's email address
Mike McClain
changed depending on whether or not the mail is going to a list?
I try to use one address for lists which get published world wide
and another for business that only goes to a select few. I've a tiny
script to change the address in /etc/email-addresses which affects
outgoing mail but try as hard as I might I still forget to switch
sometimes and the address I'd like to keep private goes public.
Thanks,
Mike

In my mutt configuration file I have:
send-hook . 'unmy_hdr From:'
send-hook '~t debian-user@lists\.debian\.org' 'my_hdr From: Brian <ad...@cityscape.co.uk>'
Would that be anything like what you are looking for?

I would suggest to check 'rewrite' clause in the exim config file/s this
should help a bit

Well, I don't know but I'll try it and see, from re-reading the docs
it surely looks like it, guess I just missed it.
Thanks,

As of 1.5, mut can deliver directly to a remote SMTP but I don't know
whether or not the Debian package is compiled for that, probably.
Otherwise, exim4 will edit those "from:" headers to respect the local
domain or to what has been configured for a standard rewrite.
Brian's link look about good for conditional rewrite but I haven't read or
tried it.

P.S. Link to configuring mutt to send direct to remote SMTP (so exim4
doesn't rewrite the "from:" header.
http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttFaq/Sendmail
You could make a macro in muttrc that sources that config and turn it on/off
depending on whether you wanted to send from your basic domain with exim4.
