Eric is probably talking about the "for" clause of the Received
header:
Received: from muncher.math.uic.edu ([131.193.178.181]) (envelope-sender
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
by smtp01.mail.onemain.com (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; 23 May 2001 10:10:26 -0000
here ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Looking at the 'for' clause is a hack, and will only work under some
circumstances. Particularly, if more than one person on the same mail
server receives a message, the 'for' clause will not be present at
all.
Fortunately, qmail provides a better solution. Use the first
'Delivered-To' header; that will always be there, and will always be
correct and unambiguous.
