Profile -> Session -> Session -> New or Edit.

2. In the session profile, extend the 'Advanced control' and choose which header will be rewritten, and select + to create a new Address Rewrite Profile.

    

3. In the Address Rewrite Profile, select New (or Edit).

4. Rewrite Type can be set to Local or LDAP. In the example below, Local is selected. In the Address Rewrite Entry, fill in what Email address that will be rewritten and enter the mapped address.
   The local part (user) of the email address will remain the same, and the domain part of the email address (example.lab) will be rewritten to 'example-rewrite.lab'.
   Select Create (or OK) three times to save all profiles.
