I realized only recently that headers_{remove,add} and one_time are
incompatible options. The reason is that if a delivery does not happen,
the one_time option adds the address to the top-level addresses in the
message. At the next delivery, it won't go through this director again,
and so won't be affected by headers_{remove,add}. This is a classic case
of two different features being added to a program which each work
fine separately, but don't work together - and the programmer doesn't
notice till it's too late. I don't know of any way round this problem.
Deliveries that do happen first time should be as you expect. If they
aren't, try a test with -d9 to see if it gives any clues.
