Hello:
1. I have sendmail running in association with fetchmail on my Linux
machine.
I would like to know if it is possible to configure sendmail in such a
way that it forwards a copy of all the emails it receives to another
email account ( office email ). The linux m/c should still get the
original as usual.

2. Similarly is there any way to configure sendmail to check if the
email came from a particular email address ( Office ). If yes, then I
want it to a. ) change the 'From' to my Linux email account b. )
forward it to the email address given as the first token of the
address line.
( Eg : If it receives an email from sony@office.com
subject : someone@somewhere.com Hello how are you
I want it to forward the email as

To: someone@somewhere.com
Subject : Hello how are you
From : sony@home.com
( The body is unchanged )

I understand that 2. is probably impossible to do with sendmail. In
that case is there any other tool I can use for the objective.
Even partial answers will be welcomed with thanks.
