3. The "bounce-message" feature[1] of a mail user agent is used to
   remail the message as if from the sender to the RT mail address.
   Might run afoul SPF or other anti-spam measures, depending on the
   configuration of the mail servers that the then bounced message must
   traverse, though.

[1] Might be called "redirect" or somesuch, depending on the client.
