Changing origin in forwarded mails

I've got this old machine running several cron jobs for me, some at night.
to get the results from the jobs, I had them mailed to me.

So far, I had used a simple .forward file, and configured the MTA to use my
providers SMTP. The mails were sent my provider's mailbox, enabling me to
read them from work with a webmail and then later fetch the with Kmail.

I'm using SUSE 10.0 on both machines, incidently.

Yesterday, my provider seems to have changed the rules on the SMTP server.
The messages are no longer getting out, because the origin is of the format:
(E-Mail Removed). It should be (E-Mail Removed).
The server answers 'unknown domain'.

How can I change this ?

Is mydomain.org actually a valid mail domain? Ie, if email is sent to
(E-Mail Removed) will it get to your? Is there an MX record for
mydomain.org?
Many email software packages are looking for valid return email addresses
befor accepting the mail

Anyway, you do not say what your mta is.
Under postfix, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add the line
masquerade_domains = $mydomain
masquerade_exceptions = root
Assuming that mydomain is actually your mydomain.org.
This will change all addresses of the form
(E-Mail Removed) to (E-Mail Removed)

It was/is postfix.
