I guess I am not being clear. I understand how to change the lists of
addresses that are associated with a user. My account has
postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx as a proxy address for me.

What I _need_ to change, is the address that is used when the NDR is sent to
someone else not within our organization. So if someone at yahoo mails to
bob55@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, he will get a response saying that user doesn't
exist. The return address is postmaster@exchange1, and it should be
postmaster@cs ideally. postmaster@exchange1 would not be resolvable.
