Hi,

You presumably want to force-in a default from address for each users. 
You can theoretically do this from whatever you like, be it a .php file, 
SQL table, or LDAP.

I have successfully got name and address into from field forced in with 
an LDAP back end. I can share my work with you if you require. 
Interrogating against a PHP script or SQL database would just be 
modifying the code.

Hope this helps,
Steve
