Frankly, I did not really understand your setup. I'll try to read the
code, which may help understanding what you do and why, but if you could
send a bit expanded explanation, that would help.

Am I right that "Old-To" is something you define in your procmail rules
yourself, or this is something standard? Should we use, as you also
said, "X-Aiaiai-Old-To" or something? But anyway, I did not really
understand yet what is this :)
