[MlMt] Customising From or Reply-To based on Smart Mailbox settings

As I manage my own domain name I'm able to make-up mail addresses to match the group or organisation I'm dealing with whenever I'm asked to provide one.

Rather than creating a corresponding email account on my server (too much effort) I simply create a Smart Mailbox in Mailmate which filters on the TO address.

Mail to these addresses all ends up in the postmaster account unless I generate a forwarding rule. I usually reserve that action for forwarding them to /dev/null when the organisation becomes annoying.

That works perfectly for receiving mail. However, when I reply to mail the FROM field is postmaster@ rather than my whatever_lol@ not-an-email address.

I'd really like to have some way of auto populating the From or the Reply-to field without having to remember to use the Customise option.

Are there any hidden tricks in Mailmate that I can leverage to achieve this?

thanks,
Malcolm
