The easiest solution (ie. no code changes to RT) is to change your
Correspondence template to have something like:

From: "{ $self->TicketObj->QueueObj->Name }  via RT" <{ $self->TicketObj->QueueObj->CorrespondAddress || RT->Config->Get('CorrespondAddress') }>

Completely untested, so please try on a dev system.  The idea is that
you're going to generate the From: line for RT rather than letting RT
autogenerate it.  You can read more about templates in templates.pod
under /opt/rt4/docs/
