[Xymon] Changing sender of alert emails?

[Ryan Skadberg]

Ok, I guess I didn't make what I wanted very obvious :)

The domain isn't the part I want to change, I want to change the user it's
sending as :)

So, I would like to have

xymon at mydomain.com for the Internal system

and

xymonext at mydomain.com for the external system.

I guess right now it's just using the user who runs the xymon processes,
but was hoping this was something configurable, so I could make the
different instances send as different users (so then I could set up replies
to go to the correct host)
