OK, for the archives:
I went with Option 2. In my sendmail.mc, I added:
LOCAL_CONFIG
H?${u}?X-Original-To: $u
This adds the header X-Original-To with the envelope recipient as the value.
Seems like a hack, but what can you do? It works.
BTW: No one asked, but I thought I'd just mention that the reason I want to use
the envelope recipient address is many bulk-mailing lists will use blind
addressing, so you can't use the To: or Cc: headers effectively.
Anyway, sorry for the noise everyone.
