I'm glad The Author Himself takes the time to answer my humble questions
:-)

But, Wietse, setting an alias will just send mails addressed TO
mailer-daemon to postmaster, which is not what I want. I want that
automatically generated error messages (those with an empty RFC821 from)
have a (RFC822) From:whatIwanthost instead of mailer-daemonhost...
