Our 'sendmail' is really the sendmail-like interface of postfix.
Anyway, we use a similar setup for masquerading the domain part.
It is not the domain part but the username part that I would
like to change.  That is: if I receive mail on an alias, I would
like to bounce mail so that it appears to come from the same alias
(at least sometimes).

Why is that a feature?
