 +===== rewrite from-addresses =====
 +in many cases, the sender domain of such a system is an internal domain and will be rejected by many spam filters. for that reason it may be necessary to rewrite the ''from'' address to an actual valid email address 
 +
 +to do that we can use ''sender_canonical_maps'' on postfix. Add the following line to ''/etc/postfix/main.cf'': 
 +  sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical
 +and create a map in ''/etc/postfix/canonical'' that looks something like this: 
 +  @myserver.local   valid@email.address
 +
 +instead of ''@myserver.local'' which will basically rewrite any local email address, we can also use a username like ''root'' if that better suits our needs. 
 +
 +finally use postmap to create the hash map and reload the config once more: 
 +  postmap /etc/postfix/canonical
 +  postfix check 
 +  postfix reload
