Sorry, I should've included the rewrite rules to use.  I just set up a working
"headeromit" channel for alternate local delivery as follows:

    ! Rewrite rules for the local host/VAXcluster
    !
    SUMMER                                  $U@SUMMER.INNOSOFT.COM
    SUMMER.innosoft.com                     $U@SUMMER.INNOSOFT.COM
    SUNDAY                                  $U@SUMMER.INNOSOFT.COM
    SUNDAY.innosoft.com                     $U@SUMMER.INNOSOFT.COM
    !
    ! Special channel for "headeromit" on local delivery
    !
    NOHEAD.SUMMER.INNOSOFT.COM              $U%SUMMER@NOHEAD-MAIL
        .
        .
        .
    l nox_env_to
    SUMMER.INNOSOFT.COM

    d_noheaders nox_env_to headeromit
    NOHEAD-MAIL

The trick here is the "$U%SUMMER@NOHEAD-MAIL" rewrite.  SUMMER is a DECnet node
name within the local cluster.  With MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS set correctly for a
homogeneous cluster (7 in my cluster), the node prefix SUMMER:: will be stripped
by VMS MAIL.

> May I also suggest adding support for multiple "l" channels...

I'll have to let our architect (Ned) comment on this one.  Functionally it would
be the same as the alternate "d_" channel.  Perhaps it could short-circuit the
need to count on VMS MAIL to strip the local NODE:: prefix.  I don't know the
details involved, however.
