This sounds reasonable, but help me out as I don't use TMDA in a
dialup environment. So basically, you specify a header, say
``X-Original-To'', which is added to your incoming messages by your
MTA. It might look like:

X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TMDA then parses the address in this header and sets RECIPIENT and EXT
for you in the environment.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
EXT=dated-1037484885.7112e0

How should we set SENDER then? Is there a header in your messages
which accurately reflects the envelope sender address? Usually this is
``Return-Path'', but I don't know if this munged in a dialup
environment. Perhaps that's a second TMDA configuration variable---the
header which contains the envelope sender address.

So, your .tmda/config might have the following variables set:

ENVELOPE_RECIPIENT_HEADER = 'x-original-to'
ENVELOPE_SENDER_HEADER = 'return-path'

What do you mean by ``inject that header on retrieval of the message
into the message''? Wouldn't the MTA on the host that first receives
your messages have to add this header, since only it is privy to the
true envelope recipient address?
