If you are using sendmail as your MTA then you can use a genericstable to do this.

Add to your sendmail.mc file:

FEATURE(`genericstable')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN(`dedicated.my_domain.net')dnl

Create a file /etc/mail/genericstable containing entries like these:

fred		freds_user_name at freds_domain_name
jim		jim_user_name at jims_domain_name

After rebuilding your sendmail.cf and restarting sendmail, mail sent out by 
local user fred should have a From: header address of 
freds_user_name at freds_domain_name etc.
