The thing is I got the complaint but so far no-one has ever proved to me
that our solution was inadequate by sending me the offending emails, so
I can't look into it.
I am looking for a solution in case I need it.

This looks interesting. I'll look into this in the near future and yes,
if I'm able to get what I want (it's in Perl which is not quite my
specialty, but I have a collegue who might be able to do it) then I'll
post it back.
