Please use "example.com", or a domain similarly reserved by RFC2606
<http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2606.html> for examples like this.

The docs say that the transport option envelope_to_add uses "the original
address(es)in the incoming envelope that caused this delivery to happen." I
guess that means after earlier rewriting during routing...

You may be able to use $original_domain and $original_local_part with
headers_add in the transport configuration, but I've not tried it myself.
Or, you might use it with headers_rewrite if you discover that you're
adding a second Envelope-To: header.
