I need to forward some messages sent to a particular user to
another address. Due strange authentication configuration this
other address accept messages onli from certain users.
So i MUST chnage the from ...
i tried to use aliases file with the following line.
leo-home: "|/usr/sbin/exim -f priv@dicea.unifi.it
otheraddress@other.domain"
IT works only if the message DO NOT have any From Line, if there
is one it is kept.
Is there an easy way to accompliush that ?
(i have a .procmail script that does it, but i wished to do it alo for a
simple alias, not a regular user) !

Is there any reason you cannot use a rewrite rule?

No, just i wished to use just aliases, since these could be a lot of
different rewrites !

Aliases change the envelope recepient. Not the sender.
