In your .forward file you can pipe it to a program.  Shouldn't be hard
to write a small perl program to read in the mail on stdin, replacing
the '^(To|From|Reply-To):' and pipe it back to 'sendmail -t'

There are also various mail/email modules you can use to parse it and
do it in a more OO fashion.

What do you have in place currently?
