That's how you do header rewriting in "stock" qmail:
use a virtualdomain (e.g. @fixme in the FAQ) to
direct the mail through ~alias/.qmail-something-default,
which runs a script of your own choosing, which in
turn re-injects the message into the queue. Hence
two deliveries.
Using Bruce's QMAILQUEUE patch, you can call a
qmail-queue wrapper to rewrite the message before
injecting it, but that's not "stock" qmail.
