Grant them Send As rights on the list and show them how to use the From
field in a new message or reply. You can't automate that.

Alternatively, set up Sales as a shared mailbox instead - give John & Terry
"full mailbox access" as well as "Send As" rights. That way, they can open
it as a secondary mailbox in Outlook, all inbound mail stays in one mailbox
and they can just hit Reply to have the reply come from Sales. If you want
their sent items to all stay in Sales too, check out www.ivasoft.biz
(UniSent).

No, you'd get rid of the sales@ distribution group.

Full mailbox rights are set in Exchange Advanced
Send As rights are set in the security tab (open ADUC, view | advanced
options, to enable this)
