The original poster indicated that the field was always present in the 
mail which wasn't routing correctly. If it isn't, then obviously this 
solution won't work. :-) Assuming it is, though, it's not important 
whether it appears in other mail; just that it is in the specific ones he 
mentioned.

Any other header field which is unique to the problem messages would work 
as well, though; in fact, given the headers OP quoted:

Envelope-to: ouruser@ourdomain
To: <them@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

:0h:
* ^To: <them@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
/var/spool/mail/ouruser

would work just as well, but would also mis-route mail sent To: 
<them@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> AND anotheruser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'd want an 
additional condition to be safe on that one.
