Just to make sure I understand the constraints: we can determine at sending
time whether a particular domain is going to cause trouble or not, right?
If so could this rewrite scheme be applied only for recipients where it's
absolutely necessary?

That way DDs, who are likeley to care more about their BTS email workflow
than the average user, don't have to deal with the negative consequences of
the address rewriting if they're already behind a polite mailserver.

Further if this discrimination is possible I wonder if it might not also be
possible to accomodate the subset of BTS users who are behind broken mail
providers but use sensible mail clients (mutt and such).

Specifically I think when you embedd an message/rfc822 part mutt allows me
to autoview the message inline, see the (pretty set) of headers, and reply
to this message instead of the "envelope".

So when BTS sees a broken domain it could generate the usual message with
address rewriting applied, but also attach in an multipart/alternative the
untouched version for this set of users to use.

Not sure that all works out, just a crazy idea,
