This sounds like a very bad idea. Likely the mail will be delivered
to the recipients listed in the To: header, which is *not* the right
thing to do.

Unless you can insure that the mail is being sent only to the
recipients listed in the (non-standard) X-Envelope--To: you should
stop the process and find another method to deliver the mail.

Original envelope information is listed in the X-Envelope-From: and
X-Envelope-To: headers. These headers should be removed when the
mail is requeued.
