IMAP server

[cidc]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum.

I have a Couier IMAP server - Fetchmail > Postfix > IMAP > Squirrelmail

Fetchmail picksup my emails from a POP3 server and then I use squirrelmail or Outlook to read/write my mail.

My problem is when I send mail from squirrel or Outlook the received email comes from home@wallace.com

What I want it to come from is my ISP email address ie fred@virgin.net

I looked at postfix readme + google etc.

Is it MX records / alias and if so how exactly do you set it up.


Any help would be great

It's your mail client and server doing their job. They're reporting that the message came from the domain of the computer it's hosted on.

What you want to do is change your "From" or "Reply-To" settings in your e-mail client. I don't know if Squirrlemail has an option to do that, but most e-mail clients do (such as PINE).

Really what you want to do is "spoof" your return address, but in a commonly accepted way. The most "polite" way to do it is to only change the "Reply-To" setting.

Try this, from the Postfix web site: http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#masquerade
I'm not 100% sure it'll do what you want, but if you tinker with it, it might work for you.
