This change can not happen without violating certain RFCs, and
it may not even be visible in some mail clients.  The bottom
line is that the message really is from foo@aol.com and that
fact should not be changed by forging headers.  If you want
that user's messages to look like they came from your system,
you should create an account on your system for him to use
instead of AOL.
