Are you suggesting that certain parts of an MTA switch to running
setuid to accomodate SRS?

What does this have to do with setuid?

Under qmail, the local delivery agent is qmail-local.  It is the one
handling aliases (.qmail aka .forward files).  It is run as the user
whose email it delivers.  How is it going to see the server's secret?

Since I'm neither a qmail user nor developer, this is not my concern. Rewriting the envelope from: addr doesn't inherently require any special privileges.
