  What you are doing is very strange.  I really think this is a case where you
need to go back to the drawing board and rethink your strategy.  What you are
trying to do will probably lead to a lot of misdirected or lost mail.

  Perhaps you need to pose a more general view of the problem you are trying
to solve, rather than to ask for help with they particular way you are
trying to solve that problem.
