Don't recall seeing a way in claws-mail and hopefully there is a
convenient way but it is possible to rewrite the sender address based
on recipient address in postfix. It's not difficult but it's also not
too easy. IIRC, an example is in the postfix docs.

Trouble is, that just hides the problem. It may be more helpful, even if
annoying, to remind the user to use the correct sender address by using
postfix to instead reject mail if the wrong sender is used for any
particular recipient address. (That's how I would force myself to
remember to use the correct addresses.)

Or perhaps a claws plugin? (hint-hint)
