oops! I could't find such a decoding mechanism, i.e.
[email protected] to anyu...@anydomain
in the Postfix souce. Is this realized in bare Postfix with
specific configuration or cooperation with its plug-ins ?

For my previous patch, just rewriting sender one-way and it may
be `in-complete' in the meaning of implementing SRS.

If there exists extracting function from SRS-ish (VERP ?) to
original sender address in the current Postfix code, I'd like to
learn about that for, either choosing any existing plug-ins or
home-brewing yet-another-SRS plug-in, mainly looking into
security sufficiency of its required hash mechanisms.
