isn't it easer to add these headers in your MTA?  e.g., in Exim, the
directive is called headers_add.

do note that the From header contains an illegal address ("<>" is only
valid as the empty sender in RFC 2821, RFC 2822 won't have it), and so
Cyrus may refuse to have anything to do with it.  is it possible to
replace it with a <nobody at example.com>?

is this part of the stuff you want to add?  in that case, it seems you
need to add another message, not just headers.

any particular wishes for your destruction, Sir?
