I have a "fake" email account that only supports forwarding, say the address is fake@mail.com.

I set fake@mail.com to forward all the email to me@me.com, which me@me.com is a real email account.

So if JOE sends me an email to fake@mail.com, I would get it at me@me.com, right?

when I hit reply on the client, I want JOE to receieve the email as if it was sent from fake@mail.com instead of me@me.com.

Any question, please ask, and I will clarify,

If you can't send mail through the forwarding server, Joe will always be able to check the headers and see that it wasn't really from you@you.com. However, if you just set the From header and reply-to address to you@you.com, it's not too obvious.
