I have just the oppositer problem - I want to *prevent* sendmail from
rewriting header lines. I have a unregistered uucp neighbor who's only
connectivity is via uucp to me. His sendmail generates a From line
like: "user@remote.uucp". Since remote is not registered, though, it
seemed like the thing to do was add a "Reply-to:" header that would route
replies via me, e.g.: "Reply-to: user%remote.uucp@me.some.domain".
In theory this seemed like it would work, but sendmail rewrites this
header line (and the uucp rewriting rules do it in a particular nasty fashion)
such that the outgoing result looks like:
	"Reply-to: remote.uucp!me.some.domain!user%remote.uucp"
The actual cf entry I'm using for testing is:
	HReply-to: <$u%$j@me.some.domain>

Any ideas? Is there an alternative to creating a Reply-to header?
