thunderbird

I have configured my email server to cache all email to my mailbox. So [email protected] and [email protected] go to one mailbox.

Every forum, registration, and guy get their own address for sending me emails so I can deliver it to /dev/null if anyone start spamming. That's the working setup.

Now the problem: If I reply to a message, then Thunderbird always sets my default Identity as sender. I know I can add additional identities, but I don't want to add every address.

How can I configure when a email is sent to [email protected], I answer with [email protected].
