I have some users who have email accts with the local university, but

user(_at_)my_domain,
which is confusing to their mail recipients. I run procmail as the
local mailer, through sendmail.cf. I can't quite figure out how to
recognise the user and then change the From lines from user(_at_)my_domain
to user(_at_)university_domain(_dot_) I've tried various variations of formail
pipes, as yet unsuccessfully.
I'm not sure I fully understand this, but AFAICT you want to change
the "From:" line in _outgoing_ messages. The standard use for procmail
is to munge _incoming_ messages. Now, you can probably do what you want
with procmail, but it would be rather contorted. A much better solution
would be either to convince your users to use a mailer that allows them
to customize the "From:" line in their outgoing messages, or, if you
can, use mail masquerading.

I'd like to see a nude opera, because when they hit those high notes,
I bet you can really see it in those genitals.
I'm not sure I fully understand this either. :-)
