Hello everyone!

I just subscribed after installing an outgoing-only load-balanced postfix
mail server. We were using Qmail for a while, but a friend suggested Postfix
and it looks damn good so far.

I have a small problemo though... A detail really... Since our server is
outgoing only, and we store a lot of information in the GCOS field, I'd like
to be able to strip the GCOS out of the From: and To: headers. The To:
header can be populated by the mail reader (passwd file matching) and local
mail software (probably sendmail) stuffs the GCOS in the From: field.

Can I use Postfix to clean the From: and To: headers?

Thanks,
js.
