The above is not what you want to address this issue. Customer-targeted 
email receipts, ship notices and other emails are easily sent out with the 
[email][/email] tag pair, which lets you specify sender and reply email 
addresses; see the tag reference for more information. Order reports (like 
the store email copy of an order) are mailed via a different mechanism. If 
you want, you can add 'from' and 'reply' parameters to the order Route in 
which the mailing occurs to set these email headers to what you want them 
to be, i.e.:

Route main  <<EOF
         attach            0
         credit_card       1
         default           1
         email             '__ORDERS_TO__'
         from              'somebody at somewhere.com'
         encrypt           0
         errors_to         '__ORDERS_TO__'
         pgp_cc_key        "__PGP_KEY__"
         pgp_key           "__PGP_KEY__"
         receipt           etc/receipt.html
         report            etc/report
         supplant          1
         individual_track  orders
         track             logs/tracking.asc
EOF
