GetRequestEmail is exactly what gets called to determine the value to
give to the Reply-To and From headers. Are you absolutely 100% certain
that postfix doesn't muck with the mail later? Could you for example
snoop on the communication between postfix and mailman (with a packet
sniffer that can reconstruct TCP flows, such as ethereal) to check
what mailman sends to postfix?
