This is a sensible request...

But this is just emotional blackmail! ;)
Postfix has a very handy canonical_maps (also canonical_sender and
canonical_recipient maps) setting. It means that you can make the switcheroo
'at the border', both ways. So everyone sees 'jeff.waugh @ perkypants.org'
on the outside when you send, and it gets changed back to 'jdub @
perkypants.org' when mail comes in.
Just about every MTA will do similar, or a fairly close approximation,
though. (I'm just familiar and happy with postfix.)

I wonder how many bugs have gone unfixed due to misspellings of "FIXME".
