Thanks Tony for your suggestions and information so far. Figuring out
how to get the debug output and finding out the rewriting takes place
later in the process than I thought was a big help :-).

OK. I think I am getting close to resolving it. The first thing I need
is to get it to send the correct *MAIL FROM* address. Apparently I must
set *return_path* in the transport for that. In my tests, I got it to
send the correct address by hard coding return_path. When I did, it
then indicated that it processed the *headers_rewrite* line also, in the
debug output. I don't know yet if the return_path has to be set before
it will use the headers_rewrite rule or not but I didn't see any sign of
it using it until I added a return_path line. Likely because it never
got that far because it was being rejected from my sender verify on the
other end because of the wrong "MAIL FROM" command. I probably will
turn off sender verify for my test address on the remote host to
confirm.

I am experimenting with an example from the faq, but it is not exactly
the way I want to do it. It looks like I should be able to get it
working at this point though.
