It looks to me like the Reply-To will be replaced with a From-based
address, given that the filter action included a reply-to header. From
the perspective of the TMDA design, it looks like you've provided two
different Reply-Tos, one in the message and one in the filter. The
filter takes precedence, as usual.

You might consider using an explicit reply-to in the filter, possibly a
keyword address, or even a dated address if you don't mind having to
update it periodically.

Personally I think the filters need more flexibility, and maybe the
ability to specify the address to act on would be a nice addition:

  to *@somewhere.com dated=3D5d [email protected]

But I would hesitate to do anything like this right away. I know there
are other limitations to the filters that I'd like to address, and a
careful review of the current system and possible enhancements needs to
be done first.
