Get procmail which includes formail which can split up a mailfile into
indvidual messages, omit specified headers and pipe each message into
a program with the -s option. You might need to delete (via the -I
option of formail) the Delivered-To: header to avoid mail loop
detection. It might be safer to not pipe the rewritten message
directly into qmail-inject, but to create individual files for each
message, check them for sane content and then feed all the message
files into qmail-inject.
Actually, does not mess822 provide similar functionality?
