Some programs submit local mail via smtp (eg: netscape) and they
set the Sender: to just the username, no domain. However if the message
is then sent on to a remote site the sender is still just the username.
This confuses a some mailers, so the attached patch allows for a rewrite
of the Sender.
I can't think of a case where this would cause problems. But if there
is one the flags in the rewrite rule could be set to not rewrite the
Sender:.
