Ugh.  Why not find or write a qmail aware rmail that can strip the !
stuff from the envelope?  (I can't route to www.qmail.org to check the
contributed software ... surely someone has done this?)

Mailers that still put ! in non-envelope headers should be taken out
and shot.  If support for this level of brokenness (sorry, Dave) is
required then sendmail is a more suitable MTA than qmail.  IMHO. :)
