 We are finally down to a more justifiable complaint about sendmail.  It is
part of the design that the address rewriting for the envelope addresses
also applies to the header addresses.  And envelope addresses must be
appropriate for the transport.

 The IDA versions of sendmail fix that.  They allow separate address rewriting
for header and for envelope.  They also support a dbm database to efficiently
choose how messages to a specific domain are handled.
