I think you want to implement this using routers - if I were you I'd ignore
headers_rewrite, and rewrite rules. It sounds like you want to user routers
instead:

* one router which looks for "alert" mail (using a local_parts condition),
and sends that mail to the alert mailbox

* and another router which uses $sender_host_address (the sender's IP
address) as the basis for picking the destination mailbox - e.g. you could
use a lookup on a file which says something like:

    192.168.1.1: dev
    192.168.1.2: qa


Both of these routers could use the "accept" driver.

Have a read of the spec about how routers work, and give the list a shout if
you still need help.

Good luck,
