Given that your app uses mail and given that the Exchange server does not
overwrite the reply-to field (that should not happen actually) you could
export the wanted mail address from the uers's environment file (ENV on AIX
systems is .kshrc usually) as an alias. alias mail='mail -r
joe.blow@ourdomain.com' should do the trick.

HTH,
