People always try to push programs past their limits. I'm used to that.

Hmm. And you can't use header_add because you haven't got the list of
addresses to hand in a batched delivery...
I hate to suggest this, because it goes against my principles, but a
terrible kludge for this would be to rewrite anakin@??? as
anakin@??? rather than aliasing it. Yuck. I feel unclean to have
said that. :-) Rewriting shouldn't be used for routing.
What you really want is some way of saying to the transport "Add this
header with the *current* delivery addresses rather than the original
ones". Or you want a variable that contains a list of the current
delivery addresses when there's more than one of them.
I have put this on the Wish List.
