Changing sender"s address

Hi folks,

we manage the mail for several domains. For example we receive the
mails for abc@xyz.de and we forward all these mails to 123@890.de. If
we receive a mail from the sender ijk@uvw.de the receiver 123@890.de
gets a mail with the sender's address ijk@uvw.de. This is my problem.
If the mail sender has a address with @890.de, the mailserver of the
receiver 123@890.de does not accept the mail, because the server
means, it is a mail from inside, this can not be true. A mail from
outside, which has a address from inside must be spam and will be
blocked.

Now my question: Is there a possibility to tell my sendmail to change
the sender's address from ijk@uvw.de to abc@xyz.de?

Thanks
Helge

Have you considered using procmail script for the forwarding?
( ~/.procmailrc instead of ~/.forward OR /etc/mail/aliases)

It will rewrite "external envelope sender address" to "local envelope
sender address" of user running the script.
