I've never seen an alumni forwarder that changed the From header. These days they all have warnings that forwarding works poorly so you should deliver the mail locally and set up the mailbox in your MUA, which is not bad advice. >But whatever we decide, the notion that every hop rewrites the RFC5322 >- From header field is nonsense.
