:-Are you familiar with the tag action? 

Uhhh, yeah.  That's why I asked about tagging.  ;-)

The documentation tells me _how_ to tag, but not _what_ to tag to achieve this
result.  As I said, I'm sure it is painfully obvious.  I just don't get it.
Here is my thinking:

   * I don't want to tag the "From" header, because I want that to always be my
     external mail address.

   * I don't want to use keyword addresses because those might get scarfed by a
     spammer.

   * I don't _think_ I want to tag the "Sender" header because other peoples
     MUAs might use that for replying in some cases.  (But maybe I'm confused
     about that.)  And some MLMs use that header.

   * Maybe I want to use a dated envelope sender header?  But won't that fail
     to work with some MLMs?

I was kind of hoping that I could do something like this:

   from [EMAIL PROTECTED] tag X-ireallysentthis dated=1h

or even

   from [EMAIL PROTECTED] tag X-ireallysentthis crypt="a password I can change"

To insert a cryptographically secure header that wouldn't be used by anything
else, and then have an incoming rule accept them.  But it doesn't seem possible
(from the documentation) to construct _either_ a incomming or outgoing filter
to do this.

OTOH, maybe I'm over thinking this.  Maybe all I need to do is this:

  outgoing: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] tag X-ireallsentthis yabetcha
  incoming: headers 'X-ireallysentthis: yabetcha' accept

I mean, it isn't cryptographically secure, but how likely is a spammer to
parrot back this header?  Is this what you had in mind?

Or am I going about this all wrong?

Thanks!
