Hi, I'm wondering if it is possible to alter the "From " line that gets

Right now, the unqualified domain name of my Linux box is sent as the
"From " line and some mail servers refuse these messages. I would like to
put my real email address there instead.

Not hard. But the method used depends on the recipe you're using,
specifically whether or not there is any 'From ' line at all in the mail
as it leaves procmail. Show us your recipe.
