[nos-bbs] JNOS return to sender

[John Kristian]

Yes, to implement this JNOS would have to receive a message, parse its 
headers and then send a reply.

It's starting to sound like this would require a change to the JNOS 
source code. No one has suggested a solution using only configuration 
changes.
