But ... S rewriting applies only to envelope addresses - those that are
received in the SMTP dialogue. It was invented for fixing bent
envelopes.

The S flag should allow you to rewrite such addresses in the envelope.
You should also be able to rewrite them in header lines, but only if you
do *not* set headers_check_syntax, which I think gets in first.
