Yes, but the hidden question was how to set this. opensuse.org mails are just aliases pointing to some other "normal" e-mail addresses. But how to set the target? Why isn't it manageable in the connect or elsewhere on some easily reachable place? So far - as far as I know - one must send request to admin (at) opensuse.org to ask to set target e-mail for opensuse.org alias...
It is really a "what do you mean by ..." question.
I use Thunderbird and it allows me to specify the (or rather choose) the outgoing 'From:" address and the "Reply-to:" that I want to use.
If you do that with a mail provider in Spain, your mail is refused, because your account only allows you to send with the contracted mail address, and opensuse.org is not telefonica.net. Thus, for sending email with my opensuse.org alias I have to send it via gmail, and tell the gmail people to authorize me to send with my from set to opensuse.org (they have a form for this). I also have to configure Thunderbird (or postfix) to use my gmail account ID and password when sending with the opensuse.org from. Ie, I have to jump several loops to be able to send. Then, several recipients that tried to email to my opensuse.org address had their email rejected, because antispam measures on transit failed with the aliasing, bouncing back the email. I forget the name of the feature, but I simply had to stop using my opensuse.org alias. (Yes, I opened a ticket for this years ago, no answer). The solution for all this is not using an alias, but a real address. For instance, the ieee.org organization replaced the ieee.org mail aliases with real addresses handled by gmail.org, as an organization. Gmail for groups I think it is called. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
