Count me to the "users want it" part.

Why? Because at the moment I don't know how to grep from the logs info
about all the messages to some particular alias. And, if problem with
some alias is reported, the only way to check it is sending test messages.

Therefore, I would prefer if courier would log RCPT TO: address before
alias explosion at least in "courierd: started" line out of the box. I
think that would be better than extra line in logs from some filter.

And, since we already talk about logs, how do you find from the logs IP
address from which messages was submitted? By time is not accurate
enough. Looking at headers on the server is not possible if the message
was forwarded to different server or received by pop3 client and removed
from server. E-mail clients which implement forward with headers are not
popular amongst my clients :( So, I want this info from logs, please!
