3. With sender_verify set, senders received over SMTP were getting passed
through the rewriting rules twice. Luckily in many cases the second pass
wouldn't have matched anything.
However, the fix is not to rewrite later if it is already rewritten
during the SMTP process, so I don't think this is going to help you.
If you set appropriate rewriting flags, you can get everything rewritten
*except* the sender address, which reduces the problem to just that
field. I can't think of any way of handling that other than something
really complicated like routing/directing all messages with that sender
address to a pipe which changes the sender and inserts them back into
Exim. Ugh.
I have made a note of the problem.
