I've done it on postfix with a sender_canonical_map:
put this into main.cf:
sender_canonical_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix-10025/sender_canonical
and this into the sender_canonical file:

/^/     new_envelope_sender at domain.com

This will change the envelope sender on all incoming mail. I've routed the 
special mail that needed to be processed through this to a second instance 
of postfix running on port 10025.
This does the job fine and in our case you even see the unchanged from: in 
the mail.
