is the problem that you require that the smtp helo domain be different
from the envelope sender (the $address in the smtp "mail from
$address" line?) is this why you can't set $fd to something that won't
be rejected and still have your From: lines properly rewritten?

according to the man page, the standard place for this information
would be a file listed in /mail/lib/fromfiles, and alias mail should
be given the -f switch.  (maybe there's a difference for gatways that
i'm missing?)

the envelope sender isn't the same as the rfc822 sender so
no, i don't think that should work.
