Hi all. This is simply to share with you how I resolved this, just in case
this will sit somewhere in the web. What I was looking for where system
filters, and one like this did the trick:

if $h_To: contains "A@???"
then
        headers remove "From"
        headers add "From: orders@domainA"
        headers remove "To"
        headers add "To: $h_Cc"
        headers remove "Cc"
endif


Thanks to all for your time and best regards.
