Hallo St,

On Fri, 17 Jun 2005 15:22:56 +0200GMT (17-6-2005, 15:22 +0200, where I
live), you wrote:

The Received: headers contain the address of the intended recipient.
But they don't when the message has multiple recipients, as an
example, you write a message to Marck and you BCC it to Leif and me,
as the three of us live under different ISP's, your ISP will send it
to three different servers. When we check the received headers, we'll
find that the Received: header inserted by your provider has no
destination included, whereas the receiving servers did include the
recipient.
Now you send your next message to Marck, but this time you BCC his
wife. As this message will be sent as one message (Marck and his wife
hanging under the same domain) until it reaches Silverstones, no
recipient will be mentioned in the Received: headers.

So the omission of your address in the Received: headers gives you
some information about not being the only recipient.
