You do not need to adjust the /etc/resolv.conf dynamically. If
PEERDNS=yes is set, then the network scripts Fedora has will do this job
automatically. That is the sense of this setting. If you do not use
PEERDNS, then the resolv.conf will not be touched by the scripts.

I thought your client is a Windows® host. So set the DNS addresses there
in the TCP/IP settings - sorry, due to lack of a Windows® host I can't
direct you here. Should be available through network preferences.

P.S. Somehow your mail client setup erases the Fedora list reply-to
setting.
