I am tasked to design, build and maintain a new MTA. The company has one special requirement, for which I'm investigating the simplest solution:

For each incoming message received, every outgoing "reply" must use the "To:" address from the incoming received message as the "From:" address in the outgoing reply.

This is trivial when the incoming has "To: [email protected]," Sally reads and replies, and the outgoing message has "From: [email protected]"

It's trickier when the incoming has "To: [email protected]," the MTA delivers to an Exchange server, which distributes that message to Sally, and Sally replies. What is the simplest way for that outgoing message to use "From: [email protected]?"

Scope is roughly one hundred (100) different domains and, possibly, thousands of combinations with various [email protected].

Ideally, the MTA will handle all of header address processing, whatever that process might look like. I seek the simplest solution, regardless how that process looks and compares to the status quo.

Please, advise. Thank you.
