Sorry about that. Yes, 'S' is very specific to incoming SMTP commands,
nothing else.

What you want is a rewrite flag that says "this rule must be a regex
that gets applied to this header [before syntax checks]". I will put
such an idea on the wish list.
Actually, it might be better for the flag to be "this rule must be a
regex that is applied to every header line" - then you can make it match
the header name yourself, and can use it with all kinds of headers that
Exim doesn't need to know about.
