Note that events sinks are discontinued in Exchange Server 2007 and have been replaced by the Transport Agent API, which is a .NET API that (in theory) gives you all necessary functionality. Poking around the SDK, you can easily get access to the From header of the message itself, and Exchange fires an event after the MAIL command (SmtpReceiveAgent.OnMailCommand) that you can handle. However, it's not clear whether you actually have access to change the values in the SMTP session. I've got a query in to find out whether this access is read-only or not.
