The SRS implementation at Pobox will prepend

  Old-Return-Path:

to show the original sender address.

We also prepend

  Delivered-To: alias(_at_)pobox(_dot_)com

to indicate what caused the forwarding.

I don't have all my thoughts straight on the matter, but section 1037.d.2 seems worrisome to me:

`(2) MATERIALLY- For purposes of paragraphs (3) and (4) of subsection (a), header information or registration information is materially falsified if it is altered or concealed in a manner that would impair the ability of a recipient of the message, an Internet access service processing the message on behalf of a recipient, a person alleging a violation of this section, or a law enforcement agency to identify, locate, or respond to a person who initiated the electronic mail message or to investigate the alleged violation.

header information seems to specifically include the MAIL FROM:.

I didn't right the law and I'm not a lawyer.
