Does the "Envelope-to:" line really lack the trailing TLD (.com?) or is 
that just how you wrote it?

It sounds like you could be doing this with a procmail rule. Since you 
know a unique line from the header, you could probably put this in 
/etc/procmailrc. This is UNTESTED; hopefully one of our better-practiced 
procmail users will correct me if I've really screwed up.

:0h:
* ^Envelope-to: ouruser@ourdomain
/var/spool/mail/ouruser

This amounts to giving up on convincing your Qube's sendmail to deliver 
using the envelope-to address, and hardwiring delivery to that address at 
the MDA level. This might cause a problem if you had a message for 
"ouruser" and another user which included that Envelope-to line; I think 
"ouruser" could get both copies of the message. So test it!
