- Well, you haven't supplied enough information for me to know what your
- rewrite rules should really look like (and there's some confusing things
- in what you sent). Thus, what I've included below does what I think you
- want....
-
- I've used $R's to differentiate between forward and reverse pointing
- addresses. These rules will cause reverse pointing addresses (From:, Cc:,
- etc.) to be written as user@ee2.alcbel.be while leaving forward pointing
- addresses (e.g, To: user@BTGV78) untouched.
-
- I also couldn't resist rewriting ee2 to it's fully qualified domain name,
- ee2.alcbel.be. You may have sound reasons for not doing this (e.g., your
- Sun gateway will blindly append .alcbel.be and thereby generate the bogus
- address user@ee2.alcbel.be.alcbel.be.)
