A standard function of emailing is the redirect function.

In Outlook this is called “Send again”.
In OTRS this function is called “Bounce”

I don’t like both terminologies tbh. but this is another discussion :-)
If you use this function, then the Email to OTRS is still send “From” the 
original customer.

But, both methods don’t solve your request - r...@localhost will still be set 
as the owner.

I think, a working solution would be to extend the PostMaster Filter to be able 
to assign Agent, Responsible and Watcher by using X-Headers.
This way you could match for mail from and rcpt to and other headers to fetch 
the new sender (the Agent), without loosing the information of customer details.

However, this would require a bit of development. If you wan to get this 
supported I recommend to contact [email protected].
Or you can create a new entry on http://otrsteam.ideascale.com first to see if 
other people would like to have the same function. Community development not 
excluded :-)
