OK, I'm game.  Design this for me assuming Postfix + Dovecot.  Lets 
assume they are on different servers  just to examine the more general 
situation.  We can probably assume an authenticated sasl connection or 
else it becomes fairly intractable, but we have to assume that customers 
can choose their FROM address (for many setups the incoming connection 
might be both unauthenticated AND have random (even forged) FROM 
addresses...)

So what should the config look like?
