If Dovecot implements RFC 3461 then it should get the
original recipient in the RCPT TO command.

    RCPT TO:<address> ORCPT=rfc822;encoded-address

Well Exim does it,.... and Postfix can be made to do it with
an smtpd_recipient_restrictions PCRE pattern of:

/(.+)/ prepend X-Envelope-To: $1

In that case Postfix could be changed to add the header too.
