      One idea (if you have CPU to burn)...

      Pipe all messages to a small C program that parses the from

      Reply-To: as well...)

Interesting idea...but if you really have CPU/RAM to burn, do it in 
perl.  Actually, it seems like something that should be integrated into 
sendmail...if it's not already :-)
