I would have thought all this stuff was set in the mail client: If they
tell their outlook[1] that they are paulj at domain paulj.paulj, then that's what
appears in the From: line and/or Reply-To: lines.

Exchange probably sets the envelope sender address, though, and may even
stick /that/ into the body of the message (Eugh!) if a From: or whatever
line isn't set. Me, I don't think an mta has any business doing that sort
of thing, but then Exchange is just so much more than an mta, apparently.

I should probably mention at this point that I've never used or adminned
Exchange...

ATB,
Wesley.

[1] Exchange => Outlook ?
