You are touching on something I always wanted to know about but was
to shy to ask. I run the mailbox repec@??? on my server. This
is an email address that has been around for donkey's years and thus
gets a lot of spam. I don't have an imap server for the readers of
this email so I forward it to their external addresses. I understand
that this breaks the SPF from the sending domain, and puts my server
at the risk of being noted as an SPF breaker.

I have been wondering if there an exim filter or configuration
snippet that could, say for a set email-to address repec@???,
first spam filter, if not spam, take the from: field, make this the
reply-to, replace the original from field with say
forward@??? and then remail to a couple of addresses.
