okie so i somehow got i working, well not really.. and i lost it again..

when i was kinda working it was donig this:

taking the FROM address and making it it into user-spam at domain.com

well that aint gong to work, i need it to take the to address so i changed
it the {to} and then got some horrible bouncing, and it had a memory
address in it.. so i tried dereferencing that @{$message->{to}}  and that
didn't work either, and i'm guessing thats how you dereference it? cause
thats what i saw inthe CustomConfig.pm file for the {to} field.

Anyways, I need to get off to work, but while I'm there I'm going to try
to reconstruct the sorta working script i had before (thought it modified
the from and not the to address) and post it here and see if someone can
help me :)

Thanks
Valmiki
