Mail hasn't even been received yet, the event occurs
just after sender's address has been received.

Yes, this is the most promising way to go about diagnosing
that particular problem.

Yes, and what comes next when a message starts arriving?
This can amount to a lengthy trace, so either select and post only the

or put it on some http/ftp server for pickup. (private mail is another
option).
