This shows an unfortunately mindset probably caused by too much
exposure to sendmail. Rewriting is for changing the *appearence* of
addresses. Directors are for changing delivery to (local) addresses.

You can do this with a smartuser director, but I don't have the example
to do it to hand. If you set a transport directly off the smartuser
then the deliveries do not get deduped (but in either case all
recipients for that actual message are detailed in the envelope-to
header.
