Yes, I'm able to send emails both as francis@eprints.iisc.ac.in and
eprints@eprints.iisc.ac.in using 'mail' command.  However, postfix
sends these mails as eprints@iisc.ac.in because it has been configured
that way. Also, eprints@iisc.ac.in is a shared mailbox.

Our Postfix configuration is similar to what has been explained in the
above article..

eprints@iisc.ac.in, which is the eprints admin email, is authorised to
send mails.

Yes, I have tried this option, too, but is doesn't help.

I will have to seek network administering team of our institute to try
the above option.

Thanks and regards, Francis
