Now it's not opt-in by the mailstore provider.
We need to have it self-configuring if the mailstore provides the
service. Which either means a standard role account for it, or, some
way for the mailstore to tell the UA what address to use.
IOW: pure user configurable doesn't do that.
In-stream configuration (via MDA or MTA) would work, but it requires
the MDA/MTA be modified. Which we're avoiding.
It requires the ability to add a header, for basic usage a constant
header. That's a trivial configuration change, nothing more.
Also the ability to delete conflicting headers.
Can you do delete headers in sendmail from the sendmail.mc file, or does
it require the sendmail.cf file? Editing the later will be a challange to
many small MTA operators. What about other MTAs?
