- Hi all
-
- Just a quick question on rewrite rules. Are they designed to work in reverse?
- That is, am I able to rewrite outgoing addresses so the recipients get a
- globally acceptable From: address?
-
- The situation is this: I have defined a rewrite rule to establish a PSI
- gateway so that addresses of the format J.Bloggs@12345678.psigate... are
- translated to psi%12345678::J.Bloggs. This works wonderfully well except the
- recipients see 'psi%12345678::J.Bloggs'@psigate... which some mailers don't
- like. The idea is to translate the From address back to
- J.Bloggs@12345678.psigate... which is generally acceptable so people can do
- replies.
-
- Any thoughts?
-
- Cheers
