How do I access the Reply-To header information inside a message
envelope so that I can use the information inside the sendmail.cf file
for a rewrite ruleset?

Because of a poorly written app, thank you Oracle, the From header is
going to be a static bogus address. However the Reply-To will hold the
correct email address. Now on the surface that seems like it should
function correctly. However the email will route through another
application that will encrypt the email. Now wait for it... ...This
encryption program doesn't recognize Reply-To and will only use the
From field to route a reply back to a user.

So in essence I need Sendmail to take whatever is in Reply-To header
information, which could be one of about fifty email addresses, so a
generictable one to one replace doesn't seem like it will work, and
replace the From Header with this Reply-To information.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Heath

Reply-To isn't in the envelope. It's a header. See "custom header" rules.
