- Sendmail.cf can indeed be configured to do this but why bother? The user
- him/herself can add a From: line to mail indicating whatever they want. IE,
- if they insert a From: line like
-
- From: theirlognam@dco.dec.com
-
- even if they were on
-
- theirlognam@att.com
-
- the inserted From: would go out as they write it.
-
- Many Mail User Agents allow you to add a From: line.
