Yup.

You would need to fix the program that's being used to send outgoing mail
so that it strips the name out of the address before passing it to qmail.
I don't know of anyone who's already done this work for the general case;
my mjinject script handles it for the simpler case of:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Doe)
though, and could probably be extended to handle the more general case.
You can get it from <ftp://ftp.eyrie.org/pub/software/majordomo/mjinject>.
