This is a little unclear to me what you want. If you're talking about
originating messages on the ORBS blacklisted account, with the desired
destination to the account which blocks it, and want a procmail solution
rather than MTA relay, I might have something. I used to send messages
from my dialup machine at home to places like aol that wouldn't accept
them by sending to them to myself at the ISP and having procmail do the
munging there I needed before forwarding them. It involved a tag in the
Subject: header that got rewritten when it arrived at the ISP, then
forwarded on. It got around those systems that wouldn't accept mail
from unresolvable domains, which was just a lot less common at that
time, and would work fine to get around ORBS, RBL, DUL, etc. lists.
Note, it doesn't rewrite the From: header because that's meaningless. It
works due to the envelope sender being acceptable to the destination MTA
because it's coming from the ISP rather than the home machine. It's
probably a pretty ugly kludge, and arguably this is better solved at
the MTA level if possible, but if it's what you're looking for I'll dig
it out again.
