First, I don't like the idea of having a qmail-remote or qmail-send
rewriting messages being sent for some mailing list purposes. This whole
stuff seems to be mailing-list relevant.
Such changes to qmail modules would blur the nicely fragmented qmail
system. Qmail is intended to deliver mail, not to parse and rewrite it.
Of course, hacking some VERB functions into qmail-send or qmail-remote
would be the easiest thing, but (I repeat myself) would not be a clean
solution.
Maybe one could introduce a new module for such rewriting purposes, that
all data would be fed through. Only... to handle messages efficiently,
it's necessary to keep the "original" (to speak with the words of the
envelopes man page) as long as possible and make "copies" as late as
possible, i.e. in qmail-send <-> qmail-remote. Unfortunately, in this
case the copies will have to be modified.
Regards,
Matthias
