I think that we shouldn't go too far with rewriting. What we _need_
to do is take care that the message goes out with a correct sender
(mostly to take care about bounces being sent to the correct
recipient), but I don't think that we should interfere with message
recipients as well.

The "trouble" would be a bounce, as if our local user had written a
differently broken address into Cc:.

Rewriting Bcc is not an option anyway since Bcc gets removed anyway
before the message is sent.

Please explain what you mean, I do not understand.

Please elaborate. I am missing much of your context here.
