> 1) Why would WM/WC be a problem?

It's a problem if you rely solely on an routing SMTP around your IMail
box,  since  WM/WC  mail  will  always  stay local and not be filtered
(unless  you  get into domain rewriting, and thus cause a lot of extra
traffic).

The <useralias> sends to the <useralias.filter> (which is the PA), and
then the PA sends to the <obfuscatedname>.

<obfuscatedname>.

Well,  this  in  itself  isn't  difficult,  since you can write to the
Registry  from  VBScript,  Perl,  or  whatever  you're using. True, if
you're using text-based configs for PostFix, you would just be able to
use UNC paths.

I think writing a SendName is the proper way to approach this project.
You can demo it in VBScript to allow for easy tweaking.
