It's not a great solution since you'll need to redo those edits whenever
you upgrade RT.  Another option is setting up your own simple filter at
the MTA level between RT and SES to tweak headers as necessary.  This
assumes you're not delivering directly from RT → SES, but delivering to
a local MTA which relays to SES.
