[CLUE-Tech] Mail sending issue

[Jeremiah Stanley]

I have an old roommate that I gave out an email address to when I had a
static IP and could run my own mail server. But, since I moved back into
the eGhetto of Arvada I can no longer run it and have to use another ISP
to serve my website and email. 

I want to be able to forward all of his mail (that I aliased his old
addresses to mine at the ISP so his mail comes to me) using procmail
filters to push the his mail to him. But I've run into a snag.

This works great except for the sending of the mail part. Most
mailservers that I've tried this on have enabled the feature that they
won't deliver mail that doesn't have a returnable From: address. This is
good because it cuts down on spam and such. When my local machine
(curly) which sits behind my firewall with a modem (larry) tries to run
this filter it tries to send out the message from the address
miah at localhost.localdomain and this is undeliverable so mail servers
barf a 554 back at me.

I don't know if this is a procmail problem or how I would set the
address that the mail emits from. Would it just be easier to use formail
to push his mail to him once I filtered it?

Thx,
