Do you know if it would be easy to configure (or where to start thinking about 
it) one of the aforementioned mailers to accept mail for a given domain, and 
then modify and forward it?  That is ...  

 

Option 1:

·         Accept mail for a plus-addressed (or hyphen or whatever) account, 
such as [email protected], strip out the part after the plus or 
hyphen, and perhaps stick a new header in there “Header was:” or something like 
that?

·         And then redirect the mail to [email protected] or whatever address 
you like ... and probably have to find a way to override the DNS lookup for MX 
at this point too ...  smart relay?

 

Option 2:

·         Accept mail for a catchall domain,  [email protected], 
strip out the part before the @, store that info in a new header, and then 
redirect, as in Option 1
