I would recommend to avoid rewriting if possible but instead cause the
application to generate a proper message in the first place.

As far as I know, there is no way to change the From:-Headers comment
(which it is from a MTA point of view) in a rewrite rule.

Again, this looks like the applicatio should be massaged into
generating a proper message.

Maybe a system filter can help, but that's opening a can of worms.
