Hello,
You mis-understood my question, I am already doing this by adding X headers.

My needs are to add another header for the MX server of the domain in the
from header.
Example:

A message claims to be from someguy at bus.tld
I want to add a header for the MX records of bus.tld

I've read all man pages, this is not something standard, I don't know much
perl besides regex.  I need to know how to parse the domain from the From
header and query the MX records for it and then add this information to a
header.

I know how to add headers for helo,host,ip these are built in and simple to
do.  I don't know how to tell perl to fetch me the MX records for domain.
