Oh, wait. That depends who’s doing the rewriting. I understood The Doctor to be 
asking for help with a local configuration. All rewriting is done in the 
"rewrite" section, unless you’re doing something fancy with headers_add and 
headers_remove. 

If the problem is upstream, perhaps with the sending MUA or an intermediate 
server, then you can manipulate headers based on the authenticated_id, for 
example, and force them to the value that you want.

On the other hand, you want to prevent rewriting *after* the email has left 
your server, there isn’t a general fix. You can’t make headers read-only, but 
it’s unusual for recipients change these headers, unless they’re mailing lists. 

I guess that, if you’re looking at an email that’s left your server, been 
rewritten by a mailing list, and then come back: then you could rewrite the 
header how you want it. But that won’t affect the copy that’s gone to third 
party recipients.
