Phil, thank you so much - that was exactly what I was missing (adding the "envelope_to_add" option to the "address_pipe" transport). Much appreciated!

However, I haven't been able to find how to find out the original address the message is sent to. In the saved copy, there is an additional header called "Envelope-to" that contains the original address, but this header doesn't appear to exist in the message as delivered to STDIN. I haven't been able to find the original address in any of the environment variables, and none of the string expansions that I've tried seems to have it either. I can't rely on the "To:" field either, as most of the messages are being forwarded from another account on another mail server.
