Not something that you could script - you'll have to hook up your own
scripts.

You can use one of the tiny sendmail-to-SMTP clients (too many to list)
along with a shell script and use this shell script as "mda" to
fetchmail. Adding said header can be done with reformail which ships in
Sam Varshavchik's "maildrop" package.
