The genericstable doesn't alter the From line, it changes the way
it's written. You've find that ``mail'' (the program) works, but
mailers that add a From line don't.
The only way I could get this to work is:
LOCAL_RULE_1
Rlocaluser<@local.domain.> $: fakeuser<@fake.domain.>
Rotherlocaluser<@local.domain.> $: otherfakeuser<@otherfake.domain.>
You need the genericstable stuff too. If anyone can tell me how to
*change* the From line properly, I'd be much obliged !
