It has good background information.  To assist, it would help to have a better understanding of your ultimate goal.  If you can respond to the nmh-workers email messages, that would most easily support discussion.  If not, you can post comments here and we'll forward them to nmh-workers.

I have been using slocal and rcvdist for many years to forward filtered mail to a private gmail address.  But their recent enforcement of DKIM/DMARC policies is causing many (most?) such messages to be bounced, since my SMTP server doesn't match the From: address in the message.  I regard this behavior as a feature of rcvdist, since the incoming message appears to be from the original sender.  But I acknowledge that this use case is not easy to distinguish from spam.

Is there a workaround here?  Perhaps a switch (or user customization via rcvdistcomps) to allow a modified from line along the lines of "Original Sender <local address>"?  Or is rcvdist no longer the right tool for this purpose?

Suggestions for alternatives welcome, especially those suitable for a .maildelivery file.

Thanks.
