Yup, terrible isn't it… :-)

I've given up trying to get people to use our one true "Do Not Reply" email
address, them ignoring me, then complaining because their messages don't
get through because the sender address isn't valid. So the most common
variants are being rewritten. 😭 (I'd therefore argue this is actually a
venial sin, not a mortal one.)

Ah-ha! I should have thought to split it into two rules!

I wasn't sure I could think of a pattern that only matches on-site sources
though; potentially an external sender could set/forge anything. So what
I've done instead is have two rules with identical patterns: the first
rewrites Eh and the second E only.

The cunning bit is putting the conditional test in the first rule and have
it either expand to the replacement value or *fail*. If the expansion *fail*s
no rewriting is done, it passes on to the second rule, which matches and
unconditionally rewrites (but only the envelope).

#       Rewrite incorrect forms of our <do-not-reply@???> address,
but only for
#       locally originated messages.
\N^(?i)(?:donotreply|do_not_reply|no-?reply)@york\.ac\.uk$\N    \
        "${if or{ \
                 {def:authenticated_id} \
                 {! def:sender_host_address} \
                 {match_ip {$sender_host_address} {CAMPUS_IP_ADDRS}} \
               } \
             {do-not-reply@???} \
             fail}"     \
        Eh


\N^(?i)(?:donotreply|do_not_reply|no-?reply)@york\.ac\.uk$\N
do-not-reply@???         E


Thanks, Jeremy, for the clue as to the two-rule direction!
